EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing Byzantine mosaic titled "The calling of Zaccheus" located in the magnificent St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Veneto. The artwork itself dates back to the 13th century, representing an era of ancient splendor and religious significance. In this scene, we witness a momentous event from the Christian religion as Jesus Christ calls out to Zaccheus, a tax collector known for his corrupt ways. The apostles surround Jesus, their expressions filled with awe and curiosity as they observe this transformative encounter. The intricate details of the mosaic are truly remarkable; every inscription and writing is meticulously crafted, adding depth and authenticity to the artwork. Each person depicted wears clothing that reflects the fashion and style of that period, with sandals adorning their feet as a common accessory. Amidst lush vegetation and towering trees in the background, this masterpiece transports us back in time to experience Byzantine art at its finest. The vibrant colors used by Alinari Fratelli bring life to each figure portrayed - from Jesus Christ himself to Zaccheus donning a mantle cloak. As we gaze upon this print captured between 1920-1930 AD. , it serves as a testament not only to Alinari's skillful photography but also highlights Europe's rich cultural heritage during both the first and second millenniums AD. Let this image transport you into an ancient world where faith intertwines with artistic expression – an enduring reminder of humanity's quest for spiritual enlightenment throughout history.
