EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: The Interior of the 5th Century Basilica of St. Clement, Rome: A Glimpse into Early Christian Art and Architecture 2. Description: This exquisite handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Cremi for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1844, offers a captivating view of the interior of the Basilica of St. Clement in Rome, also known as San Clemente al Laterano. The Basilica, a significant example of 5th-century Roman Catholic architecture, is renowned for its intricate mosaics and rich history. Upon entering the Basilica, one is greeted by the stunning mosaic depicting Christ as the Pantokrator, or the Almighty, surrounded by angels and the Saints Ambrogio of Milan and Clement I, the Basilica's namesake. The central dome, adorned with intricate mosaic work, adds to the awe-inspiring ambiance of the space. The choir, located at the eastern end of the Basilica, is a testament to the artistic prowess of the time. The mosaics in the choir, particularly the one featuring Christ and the saints, are considered some of the most beautiful examples of early Christian art. The Basilica of St. Clement, built on multiple levels, showcases the layers of Roman history, with earlier structures dating back to the 1st and 4th centuries. This engraving offers a glimpse into the past, providing an insight into the religious, artistic, and historical significance of this remarkable place of worship. 3.
