Dating back to the 12th century, these Romanesque masterpieces stand as a testament to the rich history and artistic brilliance of Europe during the Middle Ages. The first capital depicts a majestic peacock surrounded by an array of birds, emphasizing their vibrant plumage and graceful presence. These avian creatures symbolize freedom and spirituality, adding an ethereal touch to this remarkable artwork. Meanwhile, the second capital showcases a powerful lion alongside various terrestrial mammals, showcasing nature's raw strength and diversity. Both capitals are adorned with acanthus leaves, known for their ornate beauty and symbolic significance in ancient Greek and Roman art. The herbaceous plants intertwine gracefully with other vegetal elements, creating a mesmerizing composition that speaks volumes about human creativity throughout different eras. Photographed between 1865-1875 by Carlo Naya, this image not only preserves these extraordinary sculptures but also transports us back in time to witness firsthand the architectural wonders that have stood tall for centuries within this iconic basilica.
