EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent bronze tile depicting a grifo and a lion, created by the talented artist Bonanno Pisano in the 12th century. The tile is located at the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The gate itself bears Bonanno's signature, proudly declaring "Bonanno civis pisanus". It features five scenes from the Old Testament at the bottom, starting with Adam and Eve, while five scenes from the New Testament adorn the top section of the gate. The final scene portrays Christ and Mary basking in the glory of Paradise. Iconographically speaking, this remarkable piece tells an intricate story through its beautifully crafted images. The lower levels depict seven scenes dedicated to Adam and Eve's history as well as six pairs of prophets. Meanwhile, on the upper levels, we are treated to scenes from significant events in Christian scripture. Ghigo Roli skillfully captures every detail of this stunning artwork through his lens. From its exquisite craftsmanship to its rich symbolism rooted in Byzantine art and classicism influences - all rendered flawlessly in bronze - this tile serves as a testament to Pisano's mastery. This print not only transports us back to 12th-century Italy but also allows us to appreciate and marvel at centuries-old art that continues to inspire awe today.
