EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Duomo of Ravello, where a magnificent bronze door stands as a testament to the artistic brilliance of Barisano da Trani. The intricate details of this Romanesque masterpiece are beautifully captured by Brogi's lens, allowing us to admire its craftsmanship even from afar. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, our eyes are drawn to the various elements that adorn it. A snake slithers gracefully along one side, symbolizing both danger and wisdom. Reptiles and vertebrates intertwine with elegance, showcasing nature's diversity. Majestic ibises take flight above them, their wings outstretched in graceful motion. Intriguingly, a horse gallops across the scene - a powerful terrestrial mammal embodying strength and freedom. Nearby, a loyal dog stands faithfully beside a person who gazes at the door with awe-struck wonder. But amidst these earthly creatures lies an ethereal presence: the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus in her arms while Saint John the Baptist looks on reverently. This depiction reminds us of Christian religious beliefs during the Middle Ages in Europe when faith played an integral role in people's lives. The photograph was taken around 1890 but captures an artwork created centuries earlier in 1179 by Barisano da Trani himself. It serves as a timeless reminder of art's ability to transcend time and connect generations through its enduring beauty. Brogi's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail etched into this bronze door—a true testament to human creativity spanning over millennia. As we delve into its rich symbolism and historical significance, we find ourselves transported not only through space but also through time itself – immersed in the splendor of medieval Europe and captivated by its spiritual heritage.
