EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent bas relief by Agostino di Duccio, located in the Chapel of Children's Games within the Malatesta Temple in Rimini. The artwork depicts winged putti joyfully playing while riding on dolphins, creating a mesmerizing scene that exudes both elegance and playfulness. Crafted during the High Renaissance period, between 1449 and 1455, this bas relief exemplifies the artistic mastery of Agostino di Duccio. The intricate details and lifelike portrayal of the putti and dolphins demonstrate his exceptional skill as a sculptor. The composition is set against a backdrop of a serene seascape, with hints of literature and fiction woven into its narrative. It evokes an atmosphere of carefree enjoyment as these mythical creatures engage in games and pastimes amidst the vastness of the sea. The fusion of Renaissance-Baroque styles further enhances the visual impact of this artwork. Its harmonious blend reflects Europe's rich cultural heritage from both periods, showcasing their influence on each other. Captured through Brogi's lens around 1920-1930, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Agostino di Duccio's masterpiece but also highlights how art can transcend time. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with beauty and creativity throughout history. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where imagination thrived alongside artistic brilliance. It reminds us that even centuries later, such masterpieces continue to inspire awe and wonderment among those fortunate enough to witness them firsthand or through remarkable photographic prints like this one from Alinari.
