EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the St. John the Baptist Chapel in Genoa's Duomo (St. Lawrence Cathedral). The focal point is "The Ark of the relics of St. John the Baptist" an exquisite masterpiece created by the Master of the Ark of the Baptist during 1217-1225. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident as we witness Herodias receiving the head of St. John the Baptist, depicted with remarkable precision and emotion. This scene, frozen in time, showcases both artistic brilliance and religious significance. The Ark itself is a marvel to behold; it takes on the form of a religious building and can be raised to reveal a central hole through which one can catch sight of its silver shrine. It is believed that this sacred shrine contains the ashes of St. John himself, brought to Genoa in 1098. Through this photograph, we are transported into history, witnessing not only an extraordinary work of art but also connecting with centuries-old traditions and beliefs. The composition beautifully captures every intricate detail while allowing us to appreciate Ghigo Roli's skillful photography. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but feel awe-inspired by both human creativity and spiritual devotion that have stood strong for generations within these hallowed walls at Cattedrale di San Lorenzo in Genoa, Italy.
