EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the "Making of covenant between God and King Lalibela" in an illuminated manuscript, possibly from the Quesquam book. The artwork, created by Ethiopian School in the 19th century, showcases a significant moment in history where religious and royal powers intertwine. In this vibrant image, we see intricate details of a stone church being constructed under divine guidance. The architectural marvels of Lalibela are brought to life as skilled artisans meticulously handwrite sacred texts onto the pages of this illuminated manuscript. The fusion of Christian symbolism and Ethiopian culture is evident throughout the composition. King Lalibela's devotion to Christianity is palpable as he enters into a covenant with God, symbolizing his commitment to upholding Christian values within his kingdom. This monumental act solidifies his status as both a monarch and a religious leader. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of Ethiopia's rich heritage and its deep-rooted connection to Christianity. It serves as a testament to the country's architectural prowess and artistic traditions that have stood strong for centuries. Through Derek Bayes' lens, we are transported back in time, witnessing not only an awe-inspiring work of art but also an important historical event that shaped Ethiopia's cultural identity. This print invites us to appreciate the beauty found within ancient manuscripts while honoring their significance in preserving our collective human history.
