EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite glazed terracotta altarpiece by Giovanni della Robbia, housed in the church of San Girolamo in Volterra. Dating back to 1501, this masterpiece showcases the artist's remarkable talent and mastery of Renaissance-Baroque styles. The altarpiece is divided into two sections: the Last Judgment and a predella featuring scenes from the Annunciation, Nativity, and Epiphany. Each panel tells a story with intricate details that draw viewers into a world of religious devotion and spiritual contemplation. In the central panel depicting the Last Judgment, we witness an awe-inspiring scene filled with theological symbolism. The figures are meticulously crafted, showcasing Della Robbia's skillful rendering of human anatomy. Among them stands St. Michael wielding his sword as he prepares to weigh souls on judgment day. Moving down to the predella, we encounter delicate representations of key moments from Christ's life - from Gabriel's annunciation to Mary through to the adoration of magi at His birth. These scenes serve as reminders of faith for believers while also providing historical context for biblical events. The photograph itself was taken between 1915-1920 by Brogi from Alinari. Through their lens, they capture not only Della Robbia's artwork but also its surroundings within Volterra - a town steeped in history dating back thousands of years. This print serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and cultural heritage spanning multiple periods - Early Renaissance through Renaissance-Baroque styles. It invites us to appreciate not only beauty but also explore deeper physiological and psychological aspects associated with religion and spirituality throughout Europe's first and second millenniums.
