EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of spirituality and craftsmanship in a single frame. The image showcases three significant religious artifacts - a cross, a chalice, and an ostensory box - housed within the serene walls of the convent of San Damiano in Assisi, Perugia. The cross stands tall at the center of the composition, its intricate design reflecting both reverence and artistry. Its delicate curves and ornate details speak volumes about the skilled hands that crafted it with utmost devotion. Beside it sits a shimmering chalice, symbolizing communion and divine grace. Its polished surface catches the light, illuminating its sacred purpose. Completing this holy trinity is an ostensory box, exquisitely adorned with precious jewels that glimmer like stars against a dark sky. This masterpiece of applied arts and crafts holds great significance as it houses the monstrance – an object used to display consecrated bread during Eucharistic adoration. The photograph's timeless quality transports us back to 1939 when Alinari Fratelli captured this momentous scene. Through their lens, we are granted access to witness these revered objects in all their glory; each one representing centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we cannot help but feel humbled by the devotion encapsulated within these religious artifacts. They serve as reminders of faith's enduring power to inspire awe and connect humanity with something greater than ourselves. Alinari's masterful composition invites us into a world where beauty intertwines seamlessly with spirituality. It reminds us that even in our modern age, there is still room for reverence towards ancient customs and artistic expressions born out of deep devotion.
