EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the frieze adorning the high altar of the Church of Fontegiusta in Siena. Sculpted by the renowned artist Marrina, also known as Lorenzo di Mariano, this masterpiece embodies the essence of High Renaissance artistry. Dating back to 1517, this exquisite artwork seamlessly combines elements from various styles and periods including Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque. Its historical significance is further emphasized by its presence in Europe during both the first and second millennium A. D. The photograph itself was captured between 1915-1920, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail with utmost clarity. The composition features an array of symbolic motifs that evoke a sense of awe and wonderment. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to a seraphic angel figure gracefully perched amidst an abundance of luscious fruits and solid food items. This juxtaposition symbolizes nourishment for both body and soul. Further exploration reveals fanciful animals intertwined with brier vegetation, creating an enchanting scene straight out of literature or fiction. Delicate vases filled with vibrant flowers add a touch of elegance while winged creatures hover above, adding an ethereal quality to the overall composition. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, it becomes apparent that religious themes play a significant role. References to biblical stories from the New Testament can be observed throughout, reminding viewers of their spiritual journey. In conclusion, this remarkable print transports us back in time to witness firsthand Marrina's artistic genius within the context of High Renaissance sculpture. It serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries while simultaneously inviting contemplation on matters beyond our earthly existence
