EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite tile artwork of "Daedalas (forefather of artists)" created by Andrea Pisano. Originally located on the Giotto Belltower in Florence, this remarkable piece is now carefully preserved in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo, allowing visitors to marvel at its beauty and historical significance. Dating back to the Gothic period during the Middle Ages, this tile art represents a true masterpiece of European craftsmanship from the first and second millennium A. D. The photograph itself was captured around 1890, providing us with a glimpse into both its timeless allure and its enduring legacy. Andrea Pisano, also known as Andrea da Pontedera, was an esteemed artist who lived between approximately 1295 and 1348 or 1349. His talent shines through in every intricate detail of this artwork. Depicting Daedalus, a prominent figure from Greek mythology renowned for his skill as an inventor and craftsman, this tile portrays him alongside various objects associated with his legendary ingenuity. The composition exudes a sense of mystery and wonderment as Daedalus stands proudly with outstretched wings – symbolizing his mastery over flight. The meticulous craftsmanship evident in each brushstroke highlights Pisano's dedication to capturing not only Daedalus himself but also the essence of Greco-Roman culture that influenced so much of European art during this era. Thanks to Alinari Fratelli's expert photography skills, we are able to appreciate every nuance and texture within this extraordinary piece. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while reminding us that even centuries later, these artistic treasures continue to inspire awe and admiration among those fortunate enough to behold them firsthand.
