EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 6th century, showcasing the magnificent interior of San Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna. Built as a palace chapel by Theodoric the Great, this basilica stands as a testament to Byzantine architecture with its stunning arched ceilings and decorative mosaics. The image, captured in 1890 by an unknown creator, transports us into a world where history and art intertwine. The monochrome tones add an air of timelessness, emphasizing the grandeur of this religious sanctuary. As we gaze upon the scene, our eyes are drawn to the background figures who give life to this sacred space. Men engrossed in literature or deep in conversation create a sense of contemplation within these hallowed walls. The pillars that line the spacious interior stand tall like guardians of faith, while each mosaic tells stories from centuries past. This photograph not only captures architectural beauty but also serves as a reminder of Italy's rich cultural heritage. With Edmund Ollier's book "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" serving as its source material, this print offers us a glimpse into medieval Italy and invites us to explore further into its enchanting past. Through this image, we can appreciate how religion has shaped societies throughout history and how even today it continues to inspire awe and reverence.
