EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures one of the magnificent portals of the church of Saint-Madeleine in Vezelay, France. The high relief sculpture on this Romanesque portal is a true masterpiece from the Middle Ages, dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. The image showcases intricate details that highlight various elements such as communication, instrument, gesture, allegory, abstract concepts and symbols. It beautifully portrays a scene depicting benediction from the New Testament Bible with Jesus Christ and the Christ child at its center. Surrounding them are figures including angels and saints. The subjects in this photo are dressed in ancient period costumes that reflect religious fashion and clothing styles of that time. The female figure wears a veil along with an elaborate headdress befitting her role. Every detail has been carefully captured to transport viewers back to this significant era. In addition to capturing human subjects, vegetation plays a vital role in framing this composition. Lush plants serve as a backdrop for these divine figures while adding depth to their presence. An object of great importance featured prominently is an open book held by one of the figures - perhaps symbolizing knowledge or wisdom associated with Christian religion. This photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also provides insight into historical contexts like Romanesque architecture prevalent during medieval Europe's first and second millenniums. Alinari's timeless capture from 1955 preserves this remarkable artwork created between 1120-1215 for generations to come – reminding us all about our rich cultural heritage through visual storytelling without any commercial intent.
