Original: Madonna and Child Enthroned Mosaic, Regional Museum of Messina, Sicily, Italy Italian-Greek mastery, 13th century Madonn
The Regional Museum of Messina in Sicily is drawing attention for its Madonna and Child Enthroned mosaic, known as the Madonna della Ciambretta, a 13th-century work from the Church of San Gregorio. The piece is being praised as an example of Italian-Greek artistic mastery, with medieval Byzantine-influenced mosaics of this kind prized for their craftsmanship and devotional history.
Why now: A shared photograph of the medieval mosaic has prompted renewed interest in Sicily's Byzantine-era religious art.
