EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a terracotta medallion adorning the frieze of the Portico of the Ospedale del Ceppo in Pistoia. The bas-relief, skillfully crafted by Giovanni Della Robbia and his workshop, depicts the Annunciation - a significant event in Christian tradition. The composition showcases intricate details that transport viewers to the Renaissance period. In this scene, we witness an angelic figure, identified as Archangel Gabriel, communicating with the Virgin Mary. The artist's attention to clothing and fashion is evident in their elaborate costumes and accessories. Mary wears a mantle cloak while Gabriel dons majestic wings. Symbolism plays a vital role in this artwork; it conveys abstract concepts and represents various elements of life. A dove symbolizes peace and purity while fruits represent nourishment and abundance. A lily flower signifies innocence and spirituality, adding depth to the overall narrative. The photograph was taken around 1890 by Brogi from Alinari, capturing not only the beauty of Della Robbia's masterpiece but also preserving its historical significance for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of Europe's rich artistic heritage during both Renaissance and Baroque periods. It serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries – bridging gaps between past eras and our modern world. Let us cherish this remarkable piece that combines religious devotion with artistic excellence – an enduring tribute to Giovanni Della Robbia's talent alongside his renowned family workshop at Ospedale del Ceppo in Pistoia.
