Abyssinian Art Critics and the Menelik Cathedral
A Pall Mall Gazette report notes Abyssinian art criticism of works tied to Emperor Menelik in Adis Abeba. It describes an order for a large organ from Berlin and a Russian painter to depict the Adowa battle era in the inner and outer cathedral spaces. The piece details commissions in Italy and Rome, Ras Makonnen’s intervention, and a parable of Paradise and Inferno featuring contemporary Italian figures and Ethiopian rulers with Ras Alula and Ras Mangascia among the infernal.
