EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey through time and space to the enchanting region of Cappadocia in Turkey. The image showcases the remarkable St. John's Church, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, located in Gulsehir. Its historical significance is further emphasized by its neighboring Goreme Valley, also listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The focal point of this photograph is an exquisite Byzantine fresco dating back to the 13th century. In stunning detail, it depicts an angel appearing to the Holy Women at Christ's Sepulchre. This medieval painting transports us back to a time when religious art flourished under Byzantine reign. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors used in this artwork are truly mesmerizing, showcasing the skill and talent of the artist who created it over eight centuries ago. The presence of Islamic influences during that era can also be observed within this masterpiece. As we admire this awe-inspiring piece of Byzantine artistry, we cannot help but feel a sense of reverence for its historical and cultural significance. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined religion and art have been throughout human history. Through this print captured by DEA / G.
