EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning ceiling decoration in Floda Church, located in Flodafors, Sodermanland County, Sweden. Painted by the talented artist Albertus Pictor around 1500, these biblical scenes come to life with vibrant colors and intricate details. The photograph captures a section of the nave vault where various stories from the Bible are depicted. Below is a genealogical tree of Christ, symbolizing his lineage and divine heritage. Above it, we see an intriguing scene depicting the Prophet Elijah being mocked by children—a powerful reminder of how even great figures can face adversity. On the left side of the image is Samson and Delilah's story unfolding before our eyes, while on the right side we witness St. Magdalena ascending to heaven—an awe-inspiring portrayal of faith and spirituality. The print itself is a lithograph taken from "An Encyclopaedia of Colour Decoration from the Earliest Times to the Middle of XIXth Century" accompanied by explanatory text written by Helmuth Bossert. Published in Berlin in 1928 by Ernst Wasmuth Ltd. , this piece offers us a glimpse into both historical artistry and architectural beauty. With its rich history dating back centuries ago, this remarkable interior decoration serves as a testament to human creativity and devotion within religious spaces like Floda Church.
