EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Pharisee and the Publican at the Door of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo Basilica in Ravenna, Italy: A Byzantine Masterpiece of Mosaic Art Depicting Scenes of Christ's Miracles and Parables" 2. Description: This image showcases the intricate mosaic artwork adorning the top of the left wall in the main nave of the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, located in Ravenna, Italy. Dated between 493 and 526 AD, this Byzantine masterpiece is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of the European continent during the medieval period. 3. Scene: The mosaic depicts two prominent biblical figures, the Pharisee and the Publican, standing before the temple door. This scene is believed to represent the parables and miracles of Christ, as recounted in the New Testament. The Pharisee, a religious leader known for his strict adherence to Jewish law, is shown praying confidently, while the Publican, a tax collector, humbly seeks forgiveness. 4. Artistic Technique and Significance: The mosaic is created using small, colorful tesserae (glass, stone, or other materials) that are meticulously arranged to form intricate designs. The horizontal layout and vibrant colors add to the overall visual appeal and grandeur of the basilica. 5. Historical Context: Ravenna, located in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, was once the capital city of the Western Roman Empire and later the capital of the Byzantine Empire in Italy. The Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo is one of several impressive Byzantine structures in Ravenna that showcase the region's unique artistic style and historical significance. 6. Conclusion: This stunning mosaic at the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna, Italy, offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural achievements of the Byzantine period. The depiction of the Pharisee and the Publican serves as a reminder of the power of faith, humility, and the enduring influence of biblical stories on European art and history.
