EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "The Virgin between Ordelafo Faliero and the empress Irene" found in St. Mark's Basilica, Venice. The small enamel plaques of the Pala d'Oro add a touch of opulence to this stunning piece. Dating back to the 11th-13th centuries, this Byzantine art masterpiece is a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage during the first and second millenniums A. D. The photograph itself was taken around 1920-1930 by Alinari, Fratelli, capturing every intricate detail with remarkable precision. In this image, we see The Virgin Mary gracefully positioned between two notable figures - Ordelafo Faliero and Empress Irene. Their presence emphasizes both religious and political significance within European history. Adorned in lavish clothing and accessories befitting their noble status, they exude an air of regality that reflects the era's fashion trends. The Virgin Mary stands as a symbol of devotion and purity while wearing a beautiful mantle cloak mentioned in biblical texts from the New Testament. Her headdress adds an element of mystery and reverence to her persona. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a window into an era where artistry thrived alongside faith. It allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate pieces that have stood for centuries within one of Venice's most iconic landmarks. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back through time, immersing ourselves in Byzantine culture while marveling at its enduring beauty preserved through Alinari's lens.
