EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of the "Madonna and Child" fresco, created by the Macedonian School in the 11th century. The artwork is located in the Church of Saint Sofia, Ohrid, Macedonia, a place steeped in history and spirituality. In this image, we see the Virgin Mary seated on an ornate throne while cradling baby Jesus tenderly in her arms. Both figures are adorned with halos that illuminate their divine presence. The artist skillfully portrays Mary's serene expression as she gazes lovingly at her child. The fresco is a stunning example of Byzantine artistry, characterized by its intricate details and vibrant colors. The mandorla surrounding Madonna and Child adds to the ethereal atmosphere of this sacred scene. The Church of Saint Sofia holds great significance as it was founded by Archbishop Leon during his tenure from 1037 to 1056. Its walls have witnessed countless prayers and acts of devotion throughout centuries. Photographer John Bethell expertly captures every brushstroke and hue, allowing us to appreciate this masterpiece even from afar. This print serves as a testament to both Bethell's talent behind the lens and his dedication to preserving cultural heritage through visual documentation. As we admire this remarkable piece of art captured by John Bethell's lens, we are reminded of the enduring power that religious iconography holds over our collective imagination.
