EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing mosaic detail found in the Church of Santa Costanza, Rome. Dating back to 350 BC, this ancient artwork depicts Christ with St Paul and St Peter on the right side. The intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors of the mosaic are truly awe-inspiring. The image captures a significant moment in religious history as it portrays Jesus Christ alongside two prominent figures of Christianity: St Paul and St Peter. With his hand raised in blessing, Christ stands at the center while both saints flank him on either side. Their halos symbolize their divine status within the faith. The composition is filled with symbolism and meaning, reflecting centuries of worship and devotion. The sheep depicted below signify Jesus' role as the Good Shepherd who guides his followers towards salvation. The gesture of raising one's hand represents a benediction or blessing bestowed upon those who seek spiritual guidance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art from over two millennia ago, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its enduring relevance today. It serves as a powerful reminder of the foundations upon which Christianity was built – love, compassion, and faith. Photographed by CM Dixon in the 20th century, this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail that makes up this extraordinary mosaic masterpiece.
