EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite painted wooden ceiling of St. Martins Church in Zillis, Switzerland. Created in the second half of the 12th century, this architectural masterpiece is a true marvel to behold. The ceiling is divided into 153 square compartments, each adorned with intricate designs and depictions of both symbolic and mythical creatures. What makes this artwork truly remarkable is that it not only features fantastical monsters but also scenes from the Gospel and representations of the Evangelists themselves. This fusion of religious imagery and mythical elements creates a unique visual narrative that transports viewers back in time. The photograph captures every detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry involved in creating such an awe-inspiring piece. From fish swimming gracefully through geometric patterns to horses galloping alongside scenes depicting Jesus Christ and Jonah, every inch of this ceiling tells a story. Originally documented by R. Borrmann for "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration" published by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. , Berlin in 1928, this image serves as a testament to centuries-old artistic traditions that continue to inspire awe today. Whether you are an admirer of medieval art or simply fascinated by historical architecture, this print offers a glimpse into a world where creativity flourished within sacred spaces like St. Martins Church at Zillis.
