EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Tellus, from Exultet I" created by an unknown Italian artist in the 11th century. The vellum manuscript is housed in Bari Cathedral, Italy and measures an impressive 5.25 meters long. The image depicts Tellus, symbolizing Earth, as a regal Byzantine princess. She stands gracefully amidst a lush natural landscape teeming with plants and animals. The attention to detail is remarkable; each element meticulously rendered on the delicate vellum surface. As we gaze upon this ancient masterpiece, we are transported back in time to a medieval world where nature was revered and celebrated. A pig sniffs at Tellus' feet while a boar lurks nearby, representing the untamed wilderness that coexists with civilization. A deer grazes peacefully beside her, embodying harmony between humans and wildlife. A loyal dog faithfully accompanies Tellus, highlighting mankind's connection to the animal kingdom. This enchanting portrayal reminds us of our deep-rooted bond with nature and our responsibility to protect it for future generations. "Tellus, from Exultet I" not only serves as a visual feast but also holds great historical significance as part of the liturgy of Easter contained within the Exultet text. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire awe and reverence today.
