EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Creation of the Day and the Night" from the Old Testament Cycle - Creation, depicted in a stunning Byzantine mosaic dating back to the 12th-13th century. The artwork is located in the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The intricate mosaic portrays angelic figures, including seraphs and cherubim, surrounding God as he brings forth light and separates it into day and night. A Latin inscription accompanies this masterpiece: "FECIT DOMINUS LUCEM, APPELLAVITQUE LUCEM DIEM ET TENEBRAS NOCTEM" emphasizing God's role as creator. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Ghigo Roli. Through his lens, we are transported to a time when biblical stories were brought to life through art. The image captures not only the beauty of Byzantine art but also its spiritual significance. With its rich symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship, this mosaic serves as a visual representation of Genesis' creation story. It reminds us of our connection to divinity and invites contemplation on themes such as light versus darkness and the duality inherent in nature. Whether you appreciate religious art or simply admire historical masterpieces, this print offers an opportunity for reflection on faith, artistic expression, and humanity's eternal quest for understanding our origins.
