EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tile depicting the biblical scene of "Noah cultivating the Vineyard". Created in 1185-86 by Bonanno Pisano, a renowned artist from the 12th century, this bronze masterpiece can be found at the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The gate itself bears Bonanno's signature as "Bonanno civis pisanus" adding an intriguing touch to its historical significance. The tile is part of a larger composition that features five scenes from the Old Testament at the bottom and five scenes from the New Testament at the top. Starting with Adam and Eve, it progresses through various significant events until culminating in "Christ and Mary in the glory of Paradise". This portrayal beautifully captures both religious narratives within one exquisite artwork. The intricate details and craftsmanship evident in this formella bronzea are truly awe-inspiring. Each scene tells a story with precision and artistry, showcasing Bonanno Pisano's mastery of his craft. The overall design of Duomo di Monreale's Porta di Bonanno Pisano is visually striking and serves as a testament to medieval artistic excellence. Thanks to Fine Art Finder photographer Ghigo Roli's skillful capture, viewers can appreciate every nuance of this magnificent piece without being physically present.
