EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the "Sacrifice of Isaac (Stop, Abraham)". Byzantine mosaic, which is part of the Old Testament cycle-Abraham. Created in the 12th to 13th century by an anonymous Byzantine artist, this masterpiece can be found in the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The mosaic depicts a pivotal moment from the biblical story of Abraham and his son Isaac. The Latin inscription on the artwork reads: "ABRAHAM, ABRAHAM, NE EXTENDAS MANUM TUAM SUPER PUERUM" reminding viewers of Abraham's obedience to God's command to sacrifice his beloved son. The image showcases intricate details and vibrant colors characteristic of Byzantine art. It transports us back to medieval times when religious narratives were often depicted through mosaics like this one. Notably, several animals are present in this scene as they symbolize both sacrifice and food supply. The inclusion of wildlife adds depth and complexity to the composition while emphasizing themes such as obedience and trust in divine providence. Ghigo Roli skillfully captured this remarkable piece with great attention to detail. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only the artistic mastery but also delve into profound theological concepts that have shaped our cultural heritage for centuries.
