EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking Byzantine mosaic titled "Jacob's Dream" from the Old Testament cycle of Abraham. Created in the 12th-13th century, this masterpiece is located in the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) of Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The intricate mosaic depicts Jacob's visionary dream as described in Genesis. Latin inscriptions accompany the artwork, translating to "Jacob saw a ladder reaching up to heaven and angels ascending and descending upon it - he set up a stone for a pillar and poured oil on top". The image captures the essence of Byzantine art with its vibrant colors and meticulous details. The angelic figures, including cherubim and seraphim, are beautifully portrayed amidst an ethereal backdrop. This artwork not only reflects religious themes but also represents the rich cultural heritage of medieval Sicily. Photographer Ghigo Roli skillfully captures every nuance of this historical treasure through his lens. The print allows viewers to appreciate both the grandeur of the cathedral setting and the intricacy of each individual mosaic tile. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by history, this stunning photograph transports you back in time to witness one of humanity's most enduring stories depicted through exquisite craftsmanship.
