EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Creation of heaven and earth" 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 the biblical scene with remarkable detail and vibrant colors. In Latin inscription, it reads: "IN PRINCIPIO CREAVIT DEUS CAELUM ET TERRAM" meaning "In the beginning God created heaven and earth". This powerful message adds depth to an already awe-inspiring piece of art. The artist behind this masterpiece is Ghigo Roli, who skillfully captures both the religious significance and artistic beauty of this Byzantine creation. The photograph allows us to appreciate every delicate brushstroke and tile placement that went into crafting such a magnificent work. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness one of humanity's most profound stories unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of our origins and invites contemplation on themes such as divinity, creation, and spirituality. This print is not only a testament to Roli's talent but also a tribute to Byzantine artistry that has stood the test of time. Its presence evokes reverence for both its historical context and its enduring cultural significance.
