EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a glazed terracotta lunette representing the Madonna della cintola, 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. The composition showcases intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship that epitomize Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Dating back to the 16th century, this work of art stands as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. At the center of this magnificent piece is an angelic figure representing seraphs surrounding the life and representations of the Virgin Mary. The subject matter revolves around her assumption into heaven, drawing inspiration from literature and fiction rooted in Christian religion. Every aspect of this print exudes elegance and sophistication. From the meticulously sculpted figures to their fashionable attire, every detail has been carefully crafted by Della Robbia's school. The presence of male saints adds depth to this religious narrative while emphasizing their devotion. The inclusion of a sarcophagus within this artwork symbolizes mortality amidst vibrant vegetation and blooming flowers—a juxtaposition between life and death prevalent during the Renaissance era. Stunningly captured by Brogi around 1890, this photograph immortalizes not only an extraordinary work but also highlights its importance within European art history. It serves as a visual representation of biblical narratives found in both Old and New Testaments while showcasing iconic elements such as mantles or cloaks worn by St. Thomas. With its fusion of renaissance-baroque styles spanning centuries, this print offers viewers a glimpse into Europe's artistic evolution throughout different periods—an invaluable treasure for all admirers seeking insight into our collective past.
