EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate mosaic in the choir of the Basilica of Sant Ambrogio, located in Milan and dating back to the 4th century. The focal point of this image is the Mosaic of Christ Pantokrator, a powerful depiction that exudes both majesty and serenity.
The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Alberti beautifully brings out the details of this ancient artwork, showcasing its historical significance and artistic craftsmanship. The figures surrounding Christ - including saints, martyrs, and other religious icons such as Gervasius, Ambrosius, Protasius, Felix, Maternus, Nabor, San Vittore - add depth and symbolism to the overall composition.
The golden hues of the mosaic against a backdrop of a heavenly sky create a sense of divine presence within the basilica's walls. This piece serves as a testament to Christianity's rich history and influence on art throughout centuries.
As we gaze upon this remarkable portrayal from Giulio Ferrario's collection "Costumes Ancient and Modern," we are transported back in time to witness not only religious devotion but also cultural heritage preserved through visual storytelling. It is truly a masterpiece that speaks volumes about faith, tradition, and human creativity.
