EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Mourning of Christ" fresco, a masterpiece created by Astrapas and Eutychios in the 13th-14th century. The photograph captures the interior of the Church of Sveti Kliment in Ohrid, Macedonia, where this remarkable artwork is housed. Originally dedicated to the Virgin Peribleptos, this church was built in 1295 and served as a place of worship for many centuries. The fresco itself depicts a poignant scene from biblical history - the mourning of Christ after his crucifixion. Mary Magdalene stands at the forefront, her sorrow evident on her face as she gazes upon Jesus' lifeless body. This medieval artwork is an exquisite example of Palaiologan art, showcasing intricate details and skillful brushwork. Uncovered in the 1950s within this Balkan Peninsula region, these ancient frescoes are a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence during that era. Created by court painters to Serbian King Milutin (r. 1282-1321), they have withstood the test of time. Through John Bethell's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this profound moment frozen on walls that have witnessed countless prayers over centuries. This print serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also invites us to reflect on themes such as faith, grief, and human emotion captured through paintbrush strokes almost seven centuries ago.
