EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and profound "Tree of Life, or Tree of the Cross" illustration from the Trivulziana Latin Bible, created by Bonaguida, Pacino di in the 14th century. Measuring at 37.7x26.4 cm, this masterpiece is housed in the Biblioteca Trivulziana in Milan, Italy. The image depicts a tree-shaped diagram that draws inspiration from St. Bonaventure's Lignum vitae text. Intended to guide devout individuals in their journey towards Christ through meditation on his life, passion, and glorification; it serves as a powerful symbol within Christianity. With its delicate use of tempera, gold leaf, and ink on parchment, this artwork beautifully captures various biblical events and symbols associated with Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. The scrolls intertwined within the branches represent prophets who foretold these significant events. As viewers delve into this piece's iconography and genealogical symbolism, they are invited to reflect upon themes such as suffering and redemption while contemplating both death (symbolized by the cross) and eternal life (represented by the Tree of Life). Giancarlo Costa skillfully captured this extraordinary work through his lens for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance and spiritual depth. This photograph stands as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with religious art throughout centuries past - an everlasting connection between faith and artistic expression.
