EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Holy-water font with putto" created by the talented artist Matteo Civitali, located in the magnificent St. Martin's Cathedral in Lucca. The holy water font is a stunning example of early Renaissance art, displaying elements of both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The photograph was taken around 1900, capturing the timeless beauty of this artwork that dates back to the 15th century. Matteo Civitali's craftsmanship shines through as he masterfully sculpted every intricate detail of this piece. At the center of attention is a charming putto figure, symbolizing innocence and purity. This child-like cherub stands gracefully amidst an acanthus plant composition, adding a touch of natural elegance to the overall design. The delicate features and nude human body of the putto evoke a sense of ethereal beauty. The Holy-water font itself serves as an important religious artifact within St. Martin's Cathedral, providing worshippers with blessed water for spiritual purification and blessings. This remarkable print not only captures Civitali's artistic genius but also offers us a glimpse into European history during the first and second millenniums A. D. , showcasing how art evolved throughout different periods and styles. Brogi from Alinari has skillfully captured this enchanting artwork in all its glory, allowing viewers to appreciate its intricate details even if they cannot witness it firsthand at St. Martin's Cathedral in Lucca.
