EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Cathedral and Baptistery in Ravenna, Italy. Taken from "The Picturesque Mediterranean" a renowned publication by Cassell and Co. Ltd. in the late 19th century, this engraving captures the essence of these historic structures. The Cathedral, founded in the early 5th century but tragically destroyed in 1733, was immediately rebuilt to preserve its grandeur. Also known as Basilica Ursiana, it stands as a testament to resilience and architectural brilliance. The round campanile that accompanies it dates back to the 10th century, adding an element of charm and antiquity. Adjacent to the Cathedral is the Baptistero Neoniano, which holds its own historical significance. Converted from a Roman bath-house during the mid-5th century AD, it represents both religious transformation and cultural adaptation. This print allows us to appreciate not only their physical beauty but also their rich history. It transports us back in time when these structures were bustling with life and served as important centers for worship. Through this image captured by an English School artist from centuries ago, we can marvel at how human ingenuity has shaped our world over time. The intricate details of each architectural feature are brought to life through this engraving – reminding us of our shared heritage and inspiring awe for those who came before us.
