EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Owen Jones Byzantine 30," showcases a breathtaking collection of historical designs sourced from the marble pavements and mosaics of Rome, Venice, Ravenna, and Monreale. The image, taken in 1868, captures the intricate geometrical patterns and dazzling decorative motifs that define Byzantine art. At the center of the photograph, a circle of marble tiles, adorned with intricate leaf and square designs, draws the eye in. These designs, inspired by the ancient mosaics and pavements of Rome, were popularized in the 19th century by the British architect and designer, Owen Jones. Jones was known for his innovative use of these designs in his work, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and influence of Byzantine art. The photograph also highlights the beauty of Venice, Ravenna, and Monreale, with their iconic marble pavements and mosaics. The mosaics of Ravenna, in particular, are renowned for their intricate designs and vibrant colors, which are showcased in this print through the use of subtle tonal variations in the marble tiles. The photograph's composition, with its circular centerpiece and symmetrical borders, adds to its visual appeal and emphasizes the historical significance of the designs. The use of the term "Byzantine" in the title refers to the artistic and cultural traditions of the Byzantine Empire, which flourished from the 4th to the 15th centuries and was characterized by its complex geometric patterns, intricate mosaics, and ornate marble work. Overall, this photograph print offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and artistic traditions of the Byzantine Empire and the enduring influence of its designs on Western art and architecture. The intricate patterns and dazzling decorative motifs captured in this image continue to inspire and captivate viewers to this day.
