EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning detail of the preaching of St. John the Baptist in the St. John the Baptist Chapel within Genoa's Duomo (St. Lawrence Cathedral). The focal point of this image is "The Ark of the relics of St. John the Baptist" meticulously crafted by Master of the Ark of the Baptist, believed to have been active between 1200 and 1250. The Ark itself takes on a religious building form, designed with an ingenious mechanism that allows it to be raised, revealing a central hole through which one can catch a glimpse of the silver shrine containing what is believed to be St. John's ashes. This sacred relic was brought to Genoa in 1098 and holds immense significance for both locals and pilgrims alike. The intricate details carved into this masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship from France during the first half of the 13th century. Every curve and line tells a story, capturing not only religious devotion but also artistic brilliance. Through this photograph by Ghigo Roli, we are transported into history as we witness this remarkable piece up close. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an essential role in preserving our cultural heritage while evoking profound emotions and spiritual connections across generations.
