EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Assumption of the Virgin" a bas relief copied from a glazed terracotta masterpiece created by Andrea Della Robbia. The original artwork can be found in the Church of Observance in Siena, Italy. Dating back to the late Renaissance period, this exquisite piece represents the life and representations of the Virgin Mary. The bas relief depicts an angelic figure gently lifting the Virgin Mary towards heaven, symbolizing her assumption into eternal glory. The scene is filled with profound emotion and spiritual significance. The intricate details captured in this photograph highlight both the artistic mastery of Della Robbia's work and Brogi's skill as a photographer during 1915-1920 ca. . Every fold in Mary's headdress, every delicate feather on the angel's wings, and every contour of their figures are meticulously preserved. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when religious devotion was deeply intertwined with everyday life. The Catholic faith permeated society, influencing not only prayer but also fashion choices seen through various headdresses worn by civilians or military personnel present within the artwork. "The Assumption of the Virgin" serves as a powerful reminder of Europe's rich cultural heritage during both Renaissance and Baroque periods. It evokes feelings of awe and reverence for its historical significance spanning over centuries. Through Alinari's lens, this print allows us to appreciate not only Della Robbia’s artistry but also Brogi’s talent for capturing timeless beauty that transcends generations. This remarkable piece invites us to contemplate our own beliefs while marveling at humanity’s enduring fascination with divine subjects throughout history.
