Created by an unknown artist from the 12th century, this miniature artwork is housed in the Biblioteca Malatestiana e Raccolte Comunali in Cesena, Italy. The scene depicted here is part of the "Decret de Gratien" or "Concordia discordantium canonum" a manuscript that dates back to 1140 and serves as a regulatory guide for the laws and canons of the Roman Catholic Church. The ceremony itself symbolizes a significant moment in which individuals commit themselves to religious life within a specific order. Through intricate illumination techniques, this miniature brings to life the rich history and spirituality surrounding medieval clergy. The attention to detail showcases not only artistic skill but also provides valuable insights into religious practices during this period. Luisa Ricciarini has masterfully captured this historical artifact through her lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come.
