EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the "Altarpiece with St. Jerome and St. Bernard" a bas-relief work attributed to Mino da Fiesole, located in the grand Basilica of S. Maria Maggiore in Rome. Dating back to the 15th century during the early Renaissance period, this remarkable piece showcases both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, reflecting Europe's artistic evolution during that time. The photograph itself was taken around 1890, allowing us a glimpse into its timeless allure. The altarpiece is adorned with intricate details that showcase Mino da Fiesole's mastery as a sculptor. It features pilaster strips, building elements, decorations, and sections that enhance its architectural significance within the basilica. Within an elegant niche framed by a lunette lies St. Jerome on one side and St. Bernard on the other - two revered figures from Christian religion. Both saints are depicted in elaborate clothing befitting their status while engaged in prayerful contemplation before God. This religious scene evokes a sense of reverence and devotion for Catholicism. The low relief technique employed by Mino da Fiesole brings depth to each figure and object carved into stone—a testament to his skill as an artist during this era of great craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork frozen in time through Anderson's lens, we are transported back centuries ago when such masterpieces were created to inspire faith and awe among believers who visited this magnificent basilica. This photograph serves not only as a visual representation but also as a historical document capturing an important moment in art history—an enduring testament to human creativity across different periods of European civilization spanning over two millennia.
