EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the central pinnacle of the Corporal Reliquary, a remarkable work of art created by Ugolino di Vieri. Crafted with precious metals and adorned with vibrant enamels, this reliquary is housed in the enchanting Cappella del Corporale within Orvieto Cathedral. Dating back to the Gothic era of the Middle Ages in Europe, this exquisite masterpiece was created between 1337 and 1338. The talented artist, Ugolino di Vieri, poured his heart and soul into crafting every intricate detail of this religious artifact. The photograph itself was taken around 1920-1930 and perfectly captures the splendor and grandeur of this sacred object. Its ornate design features a depiction of Virgin Mary surrounded by angelic figures in an iconic scene known as "the Annunciation". This representation holds great significance in Christian religion as it symbolizes the moment when Mary learned she would give birth to Jesus Christ. As we delve deeper into its historical context, we are transported back to a time when Europe was shaped by profound religious devotion during the first and second millenniums A. D. The reliquary's presence within Orvieto Cathedral serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and spiritual reverence that prevailed during those times. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the essence behind this artwork through their photography. Their expertise allows us to appreciate every delicate brushstroke and shimmering enamel that adorns this relic. In conclusion, Alinari's evocative print immortalizes Ugolino di Vieri's Central pinnacle of the Corporal Reliquary - an extraordinary piece that embodies both faith and artistic excellence from medieval Europe.
