EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable wall decoration found in the Stylos Monastery, Turkey, dating back to the 11th century. The intricate design, belonging to the Middle Byzantine period, adorns the Cave of St. Paul within the monastery located in the Latmos Mountains near Miletus in Asia Minor. The photograph is featured as Plate XLI, figure 96, in "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of the XIXth Century" with explanatory text by Helmuth Bossert. Published by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. Berlin in 1928, this book delves into various forms of color and decorative arts throughout history. The wall decoration itself exhibits a mesmerizing geometric pattern that reflects both religious and cultural significance. Its symmetrical arrangement demonstrates exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during medieval times. As we gaze upon this lithograph captured almost a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary piece of artistry that has stood resilient through centuries. While its creator remains unknown, their work continues to inspire awe and admiration for their mastery. This image serves as a testament to Turkey's rich heritage and Byzantine influence on artistic expression during this era. It offers us a glimpse into an ancient world where religion intertwined with creativity and beauty flourished within sacred spaces like Stylos Monastery.
