EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent casket, adorned with intricate goldsmith's work that once belonged to the esteemed Cappella Palatina. Revered and preserved within the grandeur of the Royal Palace in Palermo, this masterpiece hails from the glorious era of the Normans. Transporting us back to the Middle Ages in Europe, this casket is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of its time. Its origins can be traced back to the 8th or 9th century, making it an invaluable relic from centuries past. The photograph itself was captured around 1890 by Brogi, allowing us a glimpse into this remarkable piece of history. The artwork on display reflects Norman style aesthetics prevalent during that era - a fusion of elegance and strength. As we delve deeper into this image, our attention is drawn towards military elements such as swords, arms, armor, and other military equipment meticulously engraved on its surface. These symbols evoke images of soldiers engaged in battle and offer insights into their way of life during medieval times. Amidst these martial motifs lies delicate vegetation; flowers and leaves intertwine with vegetal compositions like briars - nature's touch amidst man-made artistry. Shielded by its ornate exterior lies an object steeped in historical significance - not just for its aesthetic appeal but also for what it represents about Norman culture and society during those transformative centuries. Through Alinari's lens capturing Brogi's workmanship expertise shines through every detail presented before us. This print serves as a window into an age long gone but forever immortalized within this extraordinary casket – an emblematic treasure connecting us to our rich past.
