EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tile depicting "Two Prophets: Ezekiel and Zechariah" from the Old Testament. Created in 1185-86 by the skilled hands of Bonanno Pisano, this bronze masterpiece can be found at the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The gate itself proudly bears Bonanno's signature, stating "Bonanno civis pisanus" affirming his craftsmanship and pride in his work. The tile is part of a larger composition that features five scenes from the Old Testament at the bottom, starting with Adam and Eve.
