EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing mosaic artwork titled "Scenes from The Book of Joshua: The taking of Jericho, The seven priests carrying the Ark". Created by an Italian School in the 5th century, this masterpiece can be found in the Santa Maria Maggiore basilica in Rome, Italy. The image depicts a significant moment from the Old Testament's Book of Joshua - the conquest of Jericho. A scene filled with spirituality and military prowess unfolds before our eyes. In the foreground, we witness an army led by courageous soldiers storming the walls of Jericho. Their determination and faith are palpable as they embark on this divine mission. Intriguingly, amidst this battle-ready atmosphere, seven priests carry a sacred object known as the Ark of the Covenant at their center. This symbolizes not only their spiritual connection but also serves as a powerful reminder that victory lies not solely in human strength but through divine intervention. The mosaic itself is a testament to early Christian artistry and Byzantine influence. Its intricate details and classical narrative style transport us back to ancient times while simultaneously evoking feelings of awe and reverence. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this extraordinary artwork through her lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even if we cannot stand within those hallowed basilica walls ourselves.
