EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the ceiling and mosaics found in the 12th-century Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily. The cathedral, built between 1170 and 1189, holds a prestigious place on UNESCO's World Heritage List. The architectural style of this Norman Arabic masterpiece is attributed to King William II, who founded it in 1174. Alongside the cathedral stands a Benedictine monastery, two stone towers, and a meticulously carved porch. Inside lies an enchanting cloister with a garden adorned by an astonishing display of 228 white marble columns with intricately designed capitals that depict biblical episodes. However, it is within the arches of the central nave where true magnificence unfolds. Monumental and complex golden mosaics grace these arches as they narrate stories from the ancient testament. Each mosaic panel tells its own tale through vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship. Photographed by Giulio Azzarello, this image captures not only the grandeur but also preserves history for generations to come. It serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create awe-inspiring works of art that transcend time and cultural boundaries. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are transported back centuries ago when faith intertwined with artistic expression to create something truly extraordinary - an enduring testament to human creativity and devotion.
