EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite detail of St. Matthew, a masterpiece known as "The Pala d Oro". Crafted by Byzantine artists, this gold and enamel artwork is adorned with precious stones that create a mesmerizing display of opulence and craftsmanship. Located in the Basilica di San Marco in Venice, Italy, this stunning piece has a rich history spanning over four centuries. It was initially constructed in Constantinople under the commission of Doge Pietro Orseolo in 976 before being enriched with new enamels by Doge Ordelafo Falier in 1105. In 1209, Doge Pietro Ziani further enhanced it after the Fourth Crusade by assembling the most precious enamels and goldwork. Finally, it was given its present shape by Doge Andrea Dandolo in 1345. St. Matthew is depicted seated at a lectern within an altar screen encrusted with jewels. As one of the four evangelists who wrote the Gospel accounts of Jesus' life and teachings, St. Matthew holds great significance within Christianity. This photograph captures not only the beauty but also the historical importance of this remarkable artwork. Its intricate details invite viewers to marvel at its splendor while appreciating its cultural significance as a symbol of religious devotion and artistic excellence.
