EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Byzantine school mosaic found in the apse of the Duomo di Monreale in Sicily, Italy. Created between the 12th and 13th centuries by skilled local and Venetian craftsmen trained at the renowned Byzantine school, this artwork is a testament to their exceptional talent. The focal point of this mosaic is a decorative frieze depicting a majestic palm tree flanked by two enchanting birds - a magpie and a parrot. Against a backdrop of shimmering golden tiles, these intricate details come to life, capturing our imagination with their vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship. The Duomo's mosaics are not only an artistic marvel but also provide insight into medieval art during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. The fusion of Byzantine influences with local traditions creates an awe-inspiring visual narrative that transports us back in time. Photographer Ghigo Roli has masterfully captured every nuance of this remarkable artwork, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur from afar. This print serves as both an homage to the rich cultural heritage preserved within the walls of Monreale Cathedral and as a reminder of humanity's enduring creativity throughout history. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by historical treasures, this print will undoubtedly add depth and elegance to any space it graces.
