EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable tile depicting the scene of the "Visitation" from the New Testament. Created in 1185-86 by Pisano, Bonanno, this bronze masterpiece can be found at the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy. The tile is adorned with intricate details and bears the signature of its creator: "Bonanno civis pisanus". It features five scenes from the Old Testament at its base, starting with Adam and Eve. Moving upwards, it presents five scenes from the New Testament that culminate in an awe-inspiring depiction of Christ and Mary in the glory of Paradise. Iconographically rich and visually stunning, this formella bronzea (bronze relief panel) adorns Porta di Bonanno Pisano at Duomo di Monreale. Its lower levels narrate seven episodes dedicated to Adam and Eve's story while six pairs of prophets grace another set of panels. The upper levels showcase scenes from the New Testament until reaching its pinnacle where Christ and Mary are depicted basking in heavenly splendor. Photographed by Ghigo Roli with exceptional skill, this image captures every intricate detail and texture present on this historical artwork. With its profound religious symbolism combined with masterful craftsmanship, this tile serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and spiritual devotion throughout history.
