EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a glazed terracotta lunette representing the Resurrection, a masterpiece created by the renowned Robbian School. The artwork is housed in the former hospital of San Matteo in Florence, adding to its historical significance. Dating back to the 16th century, this low relief sculpture showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Della Robbia and his school. The Renaissance-Baroque styles are evident in every intricate detail, showcasing Europe's artistic prowess during that period. The subject matter of this artwork revolves around the resurrection of Christ, depicting an angelic figure lifting a sarcophagus lid with grace and power. It symbolizes new life and hope after death—a central theme in Christian literature and fiction. The composition is visually striking; it features a standard bearing an object or banner held by an individual. This element adds depth to the scene while emphasizing its religious context. As we delve into this photograph from 1890, we can appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its physiological and psychological aspects. It reminds us of our mortality as humans while offering solace through faith. The former hospital setting further enhances our understanding of this artwork's purpose: providing comfort to those seeking treatment for their physical ailments or soldiers recovering from battle wounds. It serves as a reminder that even amidst suffering, there is always room for resurrection and renewal. In conclusion, Brogi's photographic print immortalizes this remarkable piece from Alinari without mentioning any commercial use intentions. Its depiction transports us back centuries ago when art was used as a medium to express profound spiritual beliefs—leaving viewers captivated by both its beauty and symbolism.
