EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures "The Comforting of Joseph" an 11th-century mural painted by the Georgian School. The artwork is found in the Ateni Sioni Church, located in Gori, Georgia. Photographed in April 1981 by John Bethell, this image showcases the incredible detail and beauty of this ancient fresco. In the scene depicted, we witness Saint Joseph peacefully sleeping as he receives a divine visitation from Archangel Gabriel. With his wings gracefully spread and a halo illuminating his presence, Gabriel appears to be comforting Joseph through a dream or vision. The Georgian writing inscribed alongside adds an intriguing touch to this biblical moment. The mural's vibrant colors and intricate brushwork are expertly captured in this photograph, allowing viewers to appreciate its historical significance and artistic mastery even from afar. The composition invites us into a sacred space where heavenly apparitions merge with earthly existence. "The Comforting of Joseph" serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Georgia and its deep-rooted connection to Orthodox Christianity. This print by John Bethell preserves not only the visual splendor but also the spiritual essence that emanates from this centuries-old masterpiece.
