EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of the silver dossal of San Jacopo in the Cathedral of Pistoia. Created by the talented artist Jacopo d'Ognabene during the Gothic period, this intricate work depicts various stories from the Life of Christ. The focal point of this particular section is "Christ Before Pilate" a significant moment in Christian history. The scene showcases Pontius Pilate, an important figure in Roman governance, interrogating Jesus before his crucifixion. The artist skillfully portrays both characters with meticulous attention to detail, capturing their expressions and body language. The craftsmanship displayed in this low relief bas-relief is truly remarkable. Every element, from the architecture and soldier's armor to the clothing worn by each person depicted, reflects the fashion and style prevalent during the Middle Ages in Europe. The composition also features a stunning two-light window that bathes the scene in soft light, adding depth and dimension to Ognabene's masterpiece. This artwork serves as a visual representation of biblical events described in the New Testament. Dating back to 1287-1371 AD. , this piece stands as a testament to Ognabene's artistic prowess and dedication to his craft. Its presence within Pistoia Cathedral adds an air of reverence and spirituality to its surroundings. Photographed around 1900 by Alinari Fratelli, this image allows us to appreciate not only Ognabene's artistry but also provides insight into medieval European culture and religious devotion during these periods. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with faith throughout history – telling stories that transcend time itself.
