EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable lunette adorned with intricate vine branches and fantastical figures, proudly positioned above the portal of the Hospital of Capranica in the province of Viterbo. Dating back to the Romanesque period in Europe, this exquisite artwork from the 13th century transports us to a bygone era. The focal point of this composition is undoubtedly the mesmerizing depiction of vine branches that gracefully intertwine across the surface. Their delicate leaves and tendrils create an enchanting backdrop for a host of whimsical creatures that seem to come alive before our eyes. Among them, a majestic peacock spreads its vibrant feathers while other birds and vertebrates add their own touch of charm. This lunette exudes an air of mystery as it combines elements from both literature and fiction, blurring the lines between reality and imagination. The fanciful animals depicted here invite us into a world where nature reigns supreme, where shrubs grow wild and vegetation thrives abundantly. As we delve deeper into this photograph's rich details, we are transported not only through time but also across continents. It serves as a testament to human creativity during the Middle Ages in Europe while reminding us that art has no boundaries or limitations. Captured by Alinari Fratelli around 1920-1930, this image encapsulates centuries' worth of history within its frame. Let it serve as an invitation for exploration - an opportunity to immerse ourselves in ancient tales woven through vines and fantastic figures adorning portals long forgotten yet forever preserved through artistry.
