EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable representation of two detainees in a prison during the 9th century. The artwork, found in the manuscript "De Universo" by Rabanus Maurus Magnentius, offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of imprisonment during the Middle Ages. The focal point of this image is one detainee who is attached to a miniature pillory, emphasizing their confinement and lack of freedom. The intricate details and skilled illumination bring this historical scene to life, allowing viewers to imagine the struggles faced by those imprisoned centuries ago. The artist's use of medium age techniques adds depth and authenticity to this piece. The chains that bind one detainee symbolize their captivity while serving as a reminder of society's control over them. This powerful visual narrative prompts contemplation on themes such as justice, punishment, and human resilience. Preserved within the Archive of Monte Cassino Abbey (Mount Cassin), this artwork serves as an important historical artifact. It provides valuable insights into societal norms and practices prevalent during that time period. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this significant piece from German School with her camera lens, ensuring its preservation for future generations to appreciate. Through her work, she invites us to reflect on our own notions of imprisonment and contemplate how far we have come since these medieval times.
