EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of one of the ivory bas-reliefs from the Throne of Massimiano, found in the Archbishop Museum in Ravenna. The intricate carving depicts the Stories of Joseph the Jew, transporting viewers back to ancient times. Dating back to the 6th century AD, this remarkable artwork is a testament to early Christian art in Europe during the first and second millenniums. The photograph itself was taken between 1915 and 1920, capturing every delicate feature with precision. The subject matter revolves around Joseph, an important figure in literature and fiction as well as biblical history. In this particular scene, an angel hovers above Joseph while he dons traditional clothing from that period. Surrounding him are other patriarchs and people dressed in attire representative of their time. As we delve into this image's rich details, we witness not only a glimpse into ancient fashion and clothing but also gain insight into religious practices during that era. It serves as a reminder of Christianity's roots and its connection with Jewish history. Vegetal elements add further depth to this composition; lush vegetation intertwines with figures, creating a harmonious blend between nature and spirituality. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this momentous piece through their lens. Their expertise shines through as they bring forth every nuance within this work of art for all to appreciate. This print invites us on a journey through time - allowing us to explore early Christian art while immersing ourselves in stories passed down for centuries.
