EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Ark processional of St. John the Baptist, housed in the Museum of the Treasury of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo in Genoa, Italy. Commissioned by the Priors Chapel and crafted by Teramo Danieli and Simone Caldera between 1438 and 1445, this masterpiece is made from embossed silver, cast gilt, and enamels. The Ark's design resembles a miniature Gothic church, with intricate details that tell the stories of St. John the Baptist. The central part depicts significant events such as his announcement to Zechariah, visitation to Mary, birth, imposition of his name, angelic guidance into the desert for preaching purposes, Herod's feast where he was beheaded and finally his burial. In each corner stand beautifully sculpted figures representing St. John's counterparts - St. John the Evangelist symbolizing love; St. Matthew representing wisdom; St. George embodying courage; and lastly St. Lawrence epitomizing strength. Capturing both religious devotion and artistic brilliance within its form, this Ark processional is a testament to medieval craftsmanship at its finest. Photographer Ghigo Roli has skillfully captured every detail through his lens in this stunning image that transports viewers back to an era filled with reverence for faith and admiration for skilled artisans who dedicated their lives to creating timeless masterpieces like this one.
