EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Gate" by Bonanno Pisano, a remarkable bronze tile depicting "The Kiss of Judas" a significant scene from the New Testament. The artwork is located at the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy. Crafted during the 12th century, this masterpiece bears the signature "Bonanno civis pisanus" affirming its creator's identity. The gate itself is an awe-inspiring piece that features five scenes from the Old Testament at its base, commencing with Adam and Eve. Moving upwards, it transitions into five scenes from the New Testament until it culminates in an exquisite portrayal of "Christ and Mary in the glory of Paradise". Iconographically rich and intricately detailed, this formella bronzea represents a harmonious fusion of religious narratives within its design. It captures not only pivotal moments but also offers glimpses into biblical stories such as Adam and Eve's history or various pairs of prophets. Photographed by Ghigo Roli with great finesse and precision, this image encapsulates both the grandeur and intricate craftsmanship present in Bonanno Pisano's work. Its composition allows viewers to appreciate every delicate detail while immersing themselves in centuries-old religious symbolism. As we gaze upon this extraordinary photograph print, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and space to connect us with profound historical narratives embedded within our cultural heritage.
