EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite detail of the "Announcing angel" from Andrea della Robbia's Annunciation masterpiece, housed in the Chiesa Maggiore at La Verna, Arezzo. The photograph was taken around 1915-1920 by Brogi, showcasing this remarkable artwork created in 1480. The Announcing angel is a significant figure in Christian iconography and represents Archangel Gabriel delivering the momentous message to the Virgin Mary about her divine pregnancy. In this particular portrayal, every element is meticulously crafted - from the angel's graceful gesture to its celestial instrument of communication. Della Robbia's mastery shines through as he expertly sculpts each part of the body with incredible precision. The nude and human-like form of the angel showcases his deep understanding of anatomy and his ability to breathe life into his creations. The intricate details extend to every aspect: from delicate strands of hair framing a serene face to intricately designed wings that exude ethereal beauty. This artwork exemplifies early Renaissance style while also incorporating elements of Renaissance-Baroque periods. Its influence can be traced back across Europe during both first and second millenniums A. D. , leaving an indelible mark on art history. As we explore this photograph, we are transported back in time, witnessing a pivotal moment depicted in biblical New Testament narratives. It serves as a testament not only to Della Robbia's artistic genius but also to the enduring power and significance of religious subjects throughout history. Through Alinari's lens, we are granted an opportunity to appreciate this timeless masterpiece anew - its rich symbolism and profound spiritual meaning continue to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation.
