EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent main portal of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Ferentino. Standing tall and proud, this Romanesque masterpiece from the Middle Ages transports us back to a bygone era in Europe's rich history. The focal point of this architectural marvel is undoubtedly the frieze above the door, which depicts the four Evangelists and the Lamb of God. Each figure is intricately carved with meticulous detail, showcasing their importance in Christian religion during the middle ages. The presence of these symbolic representations evokes a sense of spirituality and reverence. The image captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys an abstract concept through its allegorical nature. The lion, often associated with courage and strength, represents St. Mark; Matthew is represented by an angelic figure symbolizing his role as a messenger; Luke appears as a male saint embodying compassion and healing; while John the Evangelist takes form as a lamb representing purity and sacrifice. Dating back to the first or second millennium A. D. , this remarkable artwork has stood for centuries as a testament to human creativity and devotion. Its preservation throughout time serves as a reminder of our connection to ancient traditions and beliefs. This awe-inspiring photograph was taken around 1920-30 by Alinari, Fratelli - renowned photographers known for capturing historical landmarks with great precision. It allows us to appreciate not only their skillful craftsmanship but also invites us into an immersive experience that transcends time itself. Let this mesmerizing print transport you back in time, allowing you to witness firsthand one of Europe's most treasured architectural gems – The Main Portal of Santa Maria Maggiore Church in Ferentino.
