EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Byzantine mosaic titled "God introduces Eve to Adam" which dates back to the 12th-13th century. Located on the counterfacade of the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale, Sicily, Italy, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich history and artistic brilliance of Byzantine art. The mosaic depicts a pivotal moment from the Book of Genesis in the Bible, where God presents Eve to Adam. The Latin inscription accompanying the artwork reads: "ADDUCIT DOMINUS MULIEREM AD ADAM DIXITQUE ADAM HOC ENIM OS EX OSSIBUS MEIS ET CARO DE CARNE MEA" ("The Lord brings woman unto man and Adam said: This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh"). Ghigo Roli's skillful capture allows us to appreciate every intricate detail and vibrant color within this ancient artwork. The delicate brushstrokes bring life to each figure, conveying their divine significance as well as their human essence. As we gaze upon this mosaic, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in an era when religious narratives were visually depicted for worshippers. It serves as a reminder of our shared cultural heritage and invites contemplation on themes such as creation, divinity, and humanity's origins. Through Ghigo Roli's lens, this photograph preserves not only a significant piece of art but also an enduring symbol that continues to inspire awe and reverence today.
