EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable sculpture entitled "Jesus Christ tempted by Devil in the desert" from Giambologna's school. Located in the left portal panel of the Cathedral of Pisa, this exquisite low relief artwork showcases a fusion of Mannerism, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Dating back to 1595, this masterpiece is beautifully depicted with intricate details that transport viewers to an ancient period. The sculpture portrays Jesus Christ standing on a rock amidst a barren desert landscape. Symbolizing temptation, an abstract concept central to biblical narratives, the devil appears as an imposing figure tempting Jesus with his outstretched arm. The composition is further enhanced by natural elements such as rocks and vegetation, adding depth and realism to the scene. An angelic winged figure hovers above Jesus, representing divine intervention during moments of trial and tribulation. Giambologna's expertise shines through in every aspect of this artwork - from the meticulous drapery adorning Jesus' clothing to the acanthus leaves intricately carved into various parts of the sculpture. These ornate details exemplify both his mastery over sculpting techniques and his ability to convey emotion through stone. Captured sometime between 1920-1930 by Brogi for Alinari, this photograph immortalizes not only Giambologna's creation but also highlights its significance within European art history. As one gazes upon this print, it becomes evident that it represents more than just a religious allegory; it serves as a testament to human resilience against temptation throughout time. With its rich symbolism and historical importance spanning multiple centuries, "Jesus Christ tempted by Devil in the desert" continues to captivate audiences today while reminding us of our shared cultural heritage.
