EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite Della Robbia terracotta on the lunette of the left door, adorning the facade of the Santa Maria della Quercia Sanctuary in Bagnaia, Viterbo. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship of this Renaissance artwork are beautifully preserved in this print. The terracotta panel depicts a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, showcasing Europe's artistic evolution during the first and second millenniums A. D. At its center stands an angelic figure, surrounded by elements from the vegetable kingdom - palms symbolizing victory or martyrdom. This composition reflects both Christian religious symbolism and non-Christian influences. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Andrea Della Robbia, renowned for his mastery of terracotta sculptures. Created in 1508, this artwork has stood as a testament to his skill for centuries. Intriguingly juxtaposed against the ancient architecture of Santa Maria della Quercia Sanctuary, this photograph transports us back to early 20th century Italy when it was captured between 1900-1910 by Brogi from Alinari. It offers us a glimpse into a time when art enthusiasts sought to document these remarkable works before they were lost to time. As we admire this image today, we can appreciate how it encapsulates not only religious devotion but also cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that art transcends boundaries and speaks volumes about our shared human experience throughout history.
