EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a glimpse of history through the lens of time. In the frame, we see a wooden casket adorned with metallic fasteners, each one telling its own story. One particular fastener catches our attention as it bears an intricate engraving, hinting at the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating this remarkable piece. Originally belonging to the Cappella Palatina, this exquisite work has found its way to the Royal Palace in Palermo, Italy. The casket stands as a testament to the rich heritage of the Normans during the Middle Ages in Europe. Its design reflects their distinctive style and serves as a tangible link to an era long gone. The photograph itself was taken around 1890, capturing both the beauty of this ancient artifact and preserving it for future generations to admire. The artwork on display dates back even further, originating from VIII - IX centuries AD. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time; we can almost imagine how precious treasures were once stored within its sturdy walls. Nature's touch is also evident here – delicate flowers and leaves intertwine with vegetal elements adorning every inch of this magnificent casket. Brogi's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also highlights every minute detail that makes this artwork truly exceptional. It is a reminder that art transcends time and continues to captivate hearts across centuries. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past – they serve as reminders of where we come from and inspire us for what lies ahead.
