EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Archangel Gabriel mosaic, a true masterpiece of Russian art from the 11th century. The photograph was taken in September 1971 inside the Cathedral of St. Sophia, located in Kiev, Ukraine. The Cathedral of St. Sophia holds great historical significance as its foundations were laid in 1037 and it underwent remodeling during the 17th-18th centuries. However, what truly makes this cathedral remarkable are its original frescos and mosaics dating back to the 11th century. In this particular image, we see a close-up detail of Archangel Gabriel depicted in all his glory. The intricate Byzantine-style mosaic captures his divine presence with exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. The angel's serene expression and elegant posture evoke a sense of tranquility and spirituality that resonates throughout the entire cathedral. This artwork is not only a testament to the talent of medieval Ukrainian artists but also serves as an important symbol within Christian iconography. Photographer John Bethell skillfully captured this momentous piece using his keen eye for composition and lighting techniques, allowing viewers to appreciate every delicate brushstroke that brings Archangel Gabriel to life. With its rich history, stunning architecture, and heavenly subject matter, this print is sure to captivate art enthusiasts who appreciate both religious symbolism and medieval artistic mastery.
