EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Gospel cover from Berta, dating back to the late 12th century. Crafted by the Russian School of the 12th century, this repousse gold masterpiece is now held in a private collection. The photograph was taken in April 1981 by John Bethell and falls under public domain due to its age. The intricate details of this Gospel cover are truly awe-inspiring. At its center, we see an exquisite depiction of Christ in majesty, seated on a magnificent throne. His serene presence exudes power and wisdom as he presides over all creation. To his right sits the Virgin Mary, enthroned with grace and humility. Every element of this artwork tells a story from the New Testament. The book of judgement symbolizes divine justice while emphasizing the importance of faith and righteousness. This piece serves as a visual reminder for believers to seek salvation through Jesus Christ. The craftsmanship exhibited here is exceptional; each delicate curve and line has been meticulously carved into the golden surface using repousse technique. This ancient art form brings depth and dimensionality to every figure portrayed on this Gospel cover. Preserved throughout centuries, this extraordinary artifact serves as both an artistic treasure and historical testament to religious devotion during medieval times. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire viewers today, inviting us into contemplation about our own spiritual journey.
