EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Creation of fish and birds" 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) of Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The intricate mosaic portrays a scene from Genesis where God brings forth life into existence. Latin inscriptions accompany the artwork, stating "PRODUCANT AQUA REPTILE ANIMAE VIVENTIS ET VOLATILE SUPER TERRAM SUB FIRMAMENTO CAELI" emphasizing the divine act of creating living creatures that dwell both in water and on land under the firmament of heaven. Ghigo Roli's masterful capture allows us to appreciate every detail and coloration present in this ancient artwork.

Through Ghigo Roli's lens, we are transported back centuries to witness this awe-inspiring moment when fish swim gracefully alongside birds soaring through an ethereal sky. This print truly encapsulates the beauty and power contained within religious art while preserving it for generations to come.
