EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of an Easter candlestick in the Anagni Cathedral. The candlestick is a true masterpiece, consisting of an intricately inlaid spiral column that reaches towards the heavens. Perched upon this magnificent structure is a young boy, holding a patera with grace and reverence. The craftsmanship displayed in this Romanesque artwork is awe-inspiring. Created by Vassalletto during the 13th century, it represents the artistic brilliance of the Middle Ages in Europe. The marble material used for its construction adds to its grandeur, while intricate details such as sphinxes and hybrid figures evoke elements of mythology. The presence of a child on top of this remarkable column adds a touch of innocence and purity to the composition. His nude form symbolizes vulnerability and reminds us of our own mortality amidst divine surroundings. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where such works were not just objects but sacred artifacts within religious spaces. This candelabrum stands as a testament to human creativity and devotion throughout history. Captured by Brogi around 1915-20, this image showcases his talent for capturing fine details and textures through photography. It serves as both documentation and celebration of artistry from centuries past. Let us marvel at this extraordinary piece that unites Greco-Roman influences with medieval craftsmanship; let it inspire us to appreciate the beauty found within sacred spaces across different cultures and eras.
