EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Byzantine art - the oldest map of Palestine. The intricate detail focuses on the city of Bethlehem, beautifully depicted at the top. Created in mosaic form during the 6th century, this masterpiece can be found in the Church of St. George in Madaba, Jordan. The rich history and cultural significance behind this artwork are truly awe-inspiring. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Byzantine civilization and Arab culture during the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this ancient map, we are transported back in time to an era when cartography was still evolving. The craftsmanship exhibited here is nothing short of extraordinary. Each tile meticulously placed by skilled hands brings life to every street and building within Bethlehem's walls. This mosaic not only provides geographical information but also offers insight into how people perceived their surroundings centuries ago. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this image, preserving it for generations to come. Through her lens, we can appreciate both the artistic brilliance and historical importance encapsulated within this piece. As we contemplate this photograph, let us marvel at how art has always been intertwined with our understanding of geography and civilization throughout time.
