EDITORS COMMENTS
The Entry of the Animals into Noah's Ark: A Glimpse into Byzantine Art at St. Mark's Basilica in Venice". This print transports us back to the XII century, where we find ourselves immersed in the grandeur of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. The mosaic detail showcased here depicts a pivotal moment from biblical times - "The Entry of the Animals into Noah's Ark". As our eyes wander across this magnificent artwork, we are struck by its intricate beauty and remarkable preservation. Every gesture, every instrument, and every communication captured within these mosaics tells a story that has withstood the test of time. Inscribed within this masterpiece are not only birds and vertebrates but also symbolic figures like eagles, pelicans, and flamingos. These creatures join Noah and his family as they gather two by two to embark on their journey towards salvation. Amidst this scene filled with patriarchs and medieval individuals donning period costumes, we catch glimpses of fashion accessories such as mantles and cloaks that were prevalent during those times. Beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a deeper significance rooted in Christian religion - an embodiment of social rapport between man and animal alike. This portrayal serves as a reminder that all living beings share membership within society regardless of their differences. This mosaic detail is just one example among many treasures found throughout St. Mark's Basilica which exemplify Byzantine art at its finest. It stands as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over centuries during the first and second millennium AD. Thanks to Alinari Fratelli’s photography skills around 1920-1930 ca. , we can now admire this extraordinary artwork even from afar while appreciating its historical value without commercial use intentions.
