EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the ethereal beauty of an angel bearing a candelabrum in the Cathedral of Volterra. The statue, crafted during the Early Renaissance period by the renowned artist Mino da Fiesole, stands as a testament to the artistic mastery of that era. The angel is depicted in exquisite detail, its delicate wings outstretched and draped in flowing robes that reflect the fashion and clothing style of that time. Adorned with acanthus leaves, a symbol often associated with rebirth and immortality, this heavenly figure exudes grace and serenity. Set against a backdrop of intricate architectural details typical of Renaissance-Baroque styles, this photograph transports us back to Europe's First and Second Millennium A. D. , where art flourished as an expression of faith and devotion. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the image, enhancing its dramatic impact. Dating back to around 1445-1484 A. D. , both the artwork itself and this photographic print capture a moment frozen in time. Preserved since 1915-20 ca. , this remarkable piece serves as a visual link connecting past generations with our present day. Brogi's skillful lens has immortalized not only Mino da Fiesole's masterpiece but also his own talent for capturing timeless beauty through photography. This print from Alinari invites viewers to appreciate not only the technical prowess involved but also the emotional resonance evoked by such magnificent works of art. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded once again why these masterpieces continue to inspire awe centuries later – they transcend mere aesthetics; they touch our souls.
