EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the semi-dome of the east apse in The Oratory of Theodulphus, Germigny-Des-Pres, France. In this masterpiece by the Italian School from the 5th century, we are presented with an awe-inspiring depiction of "The Ark of the Covenant supported by Cherubim". The image portrays a scene straight out of biblical lore, as described in the Old Testament. Two majestic cherubim with magnificent wings spread wide support and protect the sacred Ark. Their divine presence is palpable through their outstretched hands and serene expressions. This mosaic artwork perfectly captures both religious symbolism and Byzantine artistry. The attention to detail is remarkable, with every element meticulously crafted to convey spiritual significance. Each figure is adorned with halos that illuminate their heavenly nature. Believed to have been transported from Ravenna, this piece holds immense historical value and serves as a testament to early Christian devotion. It evokes a sense of reverence for its subject matter while showcasing artistic mastery. Peter Willi's expert photography brings this ancient work to life once again, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and contemplate its profound meaning today. This print not only appeals to those interested in religious iconography but also captivates anyone who appreciates timeless artistry and cultural heritage.
