EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning mural painting in the apse of S. Maria in Pallara, Rome, Italy. Created by an unknown artist during the 10th to 12th centuries, this masterpiece is a true testament to the rich history and artistic brilliance of the region. The upper section of the mural features Christ at its center, flanked by SS. Sebastian and Laurentius on the left, and SS. Zoticus and Stephen on the right. Below them lies a frieze adorned with a depiction of the Lamb and twelve sheep, symbolizing purity and innocence. An inscription beneath mentions two founders named Peter - one being a philosopher while another was a surgeon. Moving further down, we encounter Mary accompanied by four female martyrs: possibly Caecilia?, Lucia, Agnes, and Catherine. At their feet are half-figures of three saints - Benedict, Sebastian, and Zoticus. The intricate details within this artwork showcase both religious devotion as well as exceptional craftsmanship from centuries ago. The geometric patterns adorning arches add depth to this already mesmerizing piece. Captured in this lithograph from "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from Earliest Times to Middle XIXth Century" published by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. , Berlin in 1928; it serves as not only an archaeological treasure but also as an inspiration for lovers of art worldwide.
