EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the bronze candelabrum, a masterpiece created by the renowned artist Andrea Briosco, also known as Riccio. The candelabrum is located in the Basilica of S. Antonio in Padua, Italy, adding to its allure and historical significance. In this particular section of the artwork, we are treated to an enchanting depiction of a faun and griffon. The faun, with its mischievous smile and playful demeanor, stands alongside the majestic griffon - a fanciful creature combining features of both lions and eagles. Their intricate details come alive through this photograph captured around 1900. The composition exudes elements from various artistic styles and periods such as High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque, Greco-Roman influences prevalent throughout Europe during the first and second millenniums A. D. This amalgamation creates an intriguing blend that highlights Briosco's mastery in seamlessly merging different aesthetics into one harmonious piece. As we delve deeper into this image's symbolism, we discover references to mythology and literature. The presence of a centaur alludes to ancient Greek mythology while emphasizing human-animal hybrids found within classical tales. Additionally, the faun represents a minor divinity associated with nature and fertility. The nude human body showcased here exemplifies Briosco's skillful rendering of anatomical accuracy while paying homage to classical ideals prevalent during the Renaissance period. Alinari Fratelli expertly captures every intricate detail in this photograph print – allowing us to appreciate not only Briosco's craftsmanship but also providing us with an opportunity to experience artistry from centuries past firsthand. Overall, this print serves as a testament to Andrea Briosco's talent as well as offering viewers an immersive glimpse into European art history at its finest.
