EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Norman Art in Monreale, Sicily. The focal point of the image is the intricately carved capitals of the Cloitre des Benedictins, created by an unknown artist during the 12th century. These magnificent stone sculptures are located within the Duomo (Cattedrale di Santa Maria Nuova) in Monreale. The photograph, taken by Leonard de Selva, beautifully captures every detail and texture of these remarkable works of art. Each capital tells a unique story through its elaborate carvings depicting scenes from religious narratives and everyday life. The composition highlights a jug-shaped capital adorned with delicate floral motifs and mythical creatures. This particular piece stands tall on top of a column, adding to its grandeur and significance within the abbey's architecture. Monreale Abbey holds great historical and cultural importance as it represents both Norman and Sicilian influences in its design. The presence of these stunning capitals further emphasizes this fusion between different artistic traditions. Leonard de Selva's expert photography allows viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the spiritual symbolism embedded within each carving. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and continue to inspire awe centuries later. This print offers a glimpse into one aspect of Norman Art in Monreale, inviting us to explore further into this rich heritage that has left an indelible mark on Sicilian history.
