EDITORS COMMENTS
Ancient Wall Mosaics with Portraits of Saints and Martyrs: A Glimpse into the Religious Art of the 5th Century This handcoloured copperplate engraving showcases a collection of ancient wall mosaics from the San Vittore Chapel in Milan, Italy. Dating back to the 5th century, these mosaics are a remarkable testament to the artistic and religious traditions of the Roman Catholic Church during the early Christian era. The top portion of the mosaic features the portraits of Saints Gervasius, Ambrosius, and Protasius. Their serene expressions and intricate halos convey a sense of otherworldly reverence. The saints are depicted in traditional Roman attire, with Gervasius and Ambrosius wearing togas, and Protasius donning a tunic and mantle. The three saints are believed to have been martyred in Milan during the 4th century and are revered as the city's patron saints. The lower portion of the mosaic unveils the portraits of Saints Felix, Maternus, and Nabor. Their calm and contemplative expressions further emphasize the spiritual significance of the artwork. The saints are depicted in similar attire to the ones above, with Felix and Maternus wearing togas, while Nabor is shown in a tunic and mantle. These saints are also believed to have been martyred in Milan during the same period and are venerated for their unwavering faith and devotion. This engraving, created by Pietro Giarrè for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," offers a unique glimpse into the religious art of the 5th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the mosaics serve as a reminder of the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Milan and the Roman Catholic Church.
