EDITORS COMMENTS
This 12th-century print captures the poignant moment of Lazarus on his deathbed, as depicted in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. The intricate details of this sculpture, found in the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy, convey a sense of solemnity and reflection.
The Latin inscription on the capital N8 reads: "O DIVES DIVES / NON MVLTO TEMPORE VIVES / FAC BENE DVM VI / VIS POST PORTEM VIVERE SI VIS," reminding viewers of the transient nature of life and the importance of living virtuously.
The image evokes themes of poverty and wealth, as well as faith and salvation. Lazarus, a symbol of humility and suffering, lies peacefully on his deathbed while surrounded by intricate Romanesque architecture.
Through this artwork, we are transported back to medieval times when biblical stories were depicted through art to inspire contemplation and spiritual growth. The vibrant colors and detailed craftsmanship serve as a testament to the skill and devotion of artists from centuries past.
As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece by Ghigo Roli, we are reminded to reflect on our own lives and strive to live with compassion and righteousness before it is too late.
