EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-A-004683-0087" transports us back in time to the 16th century, offering a detailed glimpse into the renowned wooden choirstalls of the Basilica of San Pietro in Perugia. The image showcases a few stalls delicately adorned with intricate plant motifs, their beauty and craftsmanship standing as a testament to the skill and artistry of their creators. Dating back to around 1900, this photograph captures an artwork that itself dates from between 1526 and 1535. Created by Antonibi Bernardino and Stefano Zambelli, these choirstalls have become iconic furnishings for sacred spaces. Made entirely out of wood, they exemplify the mastery of applied arts and crafts prevalent during that era. The choirstalls are adorned with various elements that add depth and symbolism to their design. Among them are vegetal compositions featuring festoons and foliage intertwined with fanciful animals. Grotesque masks and gargoyles also make appearances within this ornamental ensemble. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by Anderson from Alinari, we can't help but appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder of how art has always played an integral role in religious settings throughout history. Whether you're an admirer of fine craftsmanship or someone fascinated by allegorical representations or abstract concepts depicted through furniture ornamentation, this print offers something truly special. Located in Perugia's Basilica of S. Pietro, these choirstalls stand as timeless examples of artistic expression within sacred spaces – a true treasure preserved for generations to come.
