EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite enamelled plaque depicting the Archangel Michael, created by Byzantine artists in the 11th century. The artwork is currently housed in the San Marco Basilica in Venice, Italy. Standing against a striking black background, this jewel-encrusted masterpiece portrays the mighty archangel holding a sword and an orb, symbolizing his power and authority. A medallion of Jesus Christ blessing adds to its religious significance. The attention to detail is remarkable as every precious stone and enamel work shines brilliantly on this ornate piece. The winged figure of Archangel Michael stands tall with a halo above his head, emanating divine light. This vertical composition captures the full length of the artwork, allowing viewers to appreciate its intricate carving and craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this iconic representation of St. Michael of Constantinople, it transports us back in time to witness the artistic prowess of Byzantine culture. Its presence within the sacred art museum at San Marco Basilica serves as a testament to its historical and religious importance. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into centuries past when art was not only decorative but also deeply intertwined with spirituality and faith. It reminds us that even today, these masterpieces continue to inspire awe and admiration for their beauty and profound symbolism.
