For #MosaicMonday the flooded crypt of the Basilica di San Francesco in #Ravenna. The Basilica dates to the 10th century and was built on a 5th century church. Due to Ravenna’s marshland and the subsidence of the ground's surface the crypt is permanently submerged by ... 🧵1/2 🏺 📷 Nicola Strocci

An interior view of the ancient, flooded crypt of the Basilica di San Francesco in Ravenna. Shallow, clear green water covers the floor, where intricate, mosaic patterns are visible beneath the surface. Stone columns with vaulted arches stand in the water, their bases partially submerged.

View of the stunning mosaic program of the sanctuary of San Vitale in #Ravenna, a crowning jewel of early Christian art. Begun under Bishop Ecclesius in 526, it was completed under Maximian in 547. The program brings together salvation history, typology, and political theology. 📷🇮🇹 flic.kr/p/f4jSRb

Since there's been a lot of talk about damnatio memoriae as of late, re-upping my very first article on Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in #Ravenna where the practice was applied to images even in the Byzantine period. Look for the disembodied hands! works.hcommons.org/record….

Donation, Dedication, and Damnatio Memoriae: The Catholic Reconciliation of Ravenna and the Church of Sant’Apollinare Nuovo

ARTHUR URBANO

The seizure and reidentification of the Arian basilica now known as
Sant’Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna reflects the political, religious, and cultural
transformations of Ravenna itself. The “heretical” space of Theoderic’s palace
chapel was “converted” into “Catholic” space through a fourfold process that
included the legal transfer of ownership, a liturgy of reconsecration,
rededication of the basilica under a new name, and the purgation of images
that decorated the interior of the basilica. This process was a sort of
damnatio
memoriae
by which the Byzantines sought to disparage, rather than to
eradicate, the memory of their Ostrogoth rivals in Ravenna.

Damnatio Memoriae Trumpi! It turns out this necessary task didn’t have to wait until January 20, 2029. It began at the Kennedy Center today.
