EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable mosaic found in the lunette of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy. The artwork depicts the biblical scene of Joseph interpreting Pharaoh's dream, with intricate details and vibrant colors that exemplify Byzantine art. Created by Pietro Vecchia, also known as Pietro Muttoni, during the 17th century, this mosaic captures the essence of ancient Egypt and its mythology. The figure of Joseph stands tall and confident before Pharaoh's throne, dressed in a striking costume that reflects the fashion and clothing of that period. The composition is rich with symbolism and storytelling elements from the Old Testament. It portrays not only Joseph but also other patriarchs who played significant roles in his life. This mosaic serves as a visual representation of their journey through time. The craftsmanship displayed here is truly awe-inspiring; every detail meticulously crafted to perfection using Byzantine style techniques. From the inscription on an instrument representing communication to various objects symbolizing different aspects of life – all contribute to creating a visually stunning piece. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1915-1920 by Alinari Fratelli, we are transported back to Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. , where such magnificent artworks adorned civic spaces like St. Mark's Basilica. This print not only captures an extraordinary piece of art but also invites us to delve into historical narratives embedded within it. It reminds us how art can transcend time and space while preserving stories from ancient civilizations for generations to come.
