EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate mosaic Tympanum depicting the family of the bishop Theotecnus, dating back to the 5th-6th century AD. The detailed artwork is located in the Catacombs of San Gennaro in Naples, Italy, showcasing a glimpse into early Christian Byzantine art.
In this image, we see Theotecnus surrounded by his family - his wife and children depicted with him. The vibrant colors and delicate details of the mosaic bring to life a scene from centuries past, offering a window into the lives of these ancient individuals.
The composition is rich with symbolism and religious imagery, reflecting the importance of faith and family in Byzantine society. Each figure is carefully rendered, their expressions conveying a sense of reverence and devotion.
As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured by photographer Raffaello Bencini, we are transported back in time to an era where art served as a powerful tool for storytelling and spiritual reflection. The beauty and complexity of this Tympanum serve as a testament to the skill and creativity of ancient artisans who sought to honor their beliefs through their craft.
