EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of a chair carved in marble, located within the Certosa (Carthusian monastery) of Calci, near Pisa. The chair, known as the Bishop's Throne, showcases elements of both Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles from Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. The photograph was taken around 1920-1930 by Brogi, an acclaimed photographer known for his exceptional talent in capturing architectural details. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly remarkable - every curve and detail meticulously chiseled into the cold stone. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to a dove delicately perched on top of the chair. Symbolizing peace and purity, it adds a touch of serenity to this grandiose composition. Surrounding the dove are various allegorical figures such as seraphs and angels that seem to come alive through their detailed carvings. Notably present amidst these mythical creatures is a figure resembling a harpy - a hybrid creature from Greek mythology with wings and claws. This inclusion adds an intriguing element to the overall design. The chair itself is adorned with acanthus leaves - herbaceous plants commonly found in Mediterranean regions. These vegetal elements create an exquisite composition that seamlessly blends nature with artistry. Dating back to approximately XVII century, this artwork stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history. It embodies influences from Greco-Roman times while embracing the opulence characteristic of Renaissance-Baroque styles. Brogi's masterful photography allows us to appreciate every minute detail captured within this frame – showcasing not only his skill but also highlighting why these historical treasures continue to captivate audiences today.
