EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases one of the eight mesmerizing glazed terra cotta roundels adorning the Portico of the Ospedale degli Innocenti in Florence. Created by the renowned artist Andrea della Robbia in 1463, this particular roundel depicts an infant swathed in delicate swaddling clothes. The photograph, captured by Brogi around 1880-1890, beautifully captures every intricate detail and brings to life this timeless masterpiece. The roundel serves as a poignant reminder of childhood and its significance throughout history. It invites contemplation on various aspects such as age, individuality, physiological and psychological development. The cherubic figure depicted within exudes innocence and purity, evoking emotions that resonate with viewers across generations. Notably, literature and fiction have often drawn inspiration from such iconic representations of childhood like this one. This image transports us into a world where imagination flourishes and stories unfold. Intriguingly, the band adorning the infant's attire adds an element of fashion and clothing to this artistic composition. Its presence hints at cultural practices or societal norms prevalent during that era. Located at Florence's Foundling Hospital (Ospedale degli Innocenti), this artwork holds immense historical value for both locals and visitors alike. It stands as a testament to Della Robbia's exceptional talent while also symbolizing compassion towards abandoned children who found solace within these walls centuries ago. As we admire this remarkable print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also reflect upon the profound themes it represents – reminding us of our shared humanity through different periods in time.
