EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable bas relief depicting a crab, symbolizing the zodiac sign of Cancer. The artwork is located in the Sacrament Chapel or Chapel of the Planets within the Malatesta Chapel in Rimini. Created by Agostino di Duccio during the High Renaissance period, this masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The bas relief is an allegorical representation of Cancer, showcasing its abstract concept and symbolic significance. It beautifully portrays a crab against a backdrop of sea and mountain landscapes, evoking a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. A ship sailing through calm waters adds depth to the scene, emphasizing transportation as another element associated with this zodiac sign. Agostino di Duccio's craftsmanship shines through in every aspect of this artwork. The intricate details on the crab's shell highlight his mastery over sculpting arthropods and crustaceans. The composition seamlessly blends elements from both Renaissance and Baroque styles, reflecting Europe's artistic evolution during that era. Dating back to 1449-1455, this bas relief has stood the test of time as an enduring testament to Agostino di Duccio's genius. Captured in this photograph taken between 1920-1930 by Brogi from Alinari, it allows us to appreciate not only the artist's skill but also how art can transcend centuries. Whether you are fascinated by astrology or simply admire exquisite artistry, this print offers a glimpse into history while celebrating human creativity across different periods and styles.
