EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the marble altar by Andrea Bregno, located in the historic church of S. Maria del Popolo in Rome. The artwork, dating back to 1473 during the Early Renaissance period, showcases Bregno's mastery in blending Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The image transports us back to 1890 when it was captured, allowing us a glimpse into this remarkable piece of European art history. The altar is adorned with various architectural elements such as pilaster strips, niches, and an entablature that harmoniously frame intricate sculptures. Among these sculptures are angels and religious figures dressed in elaborate clothing that reflects the fashion trends of their time. One cannot help but be drawn to a saintly figure depicted on the altar - perhaps a cardinal or clergy member - whose presence exudes devotion and spirituality. The low relief work beautifully transitions into high relief sculptures while capitals embellished with festoons add a touch of grandeur. Vegetal elements intertwine throughout the composition, creating delicate crests and emblems reminiscent of biblical references found in the New Testament. This fusion of early Renaissance style with touches of Baroque aesthetics further enhances its allure. Anderson's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every detail meticulously carved by Bregno over five centuries ago. It serves as a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage from both first and second millenniums AD. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Alinari, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its enduring beauty that continues to captivate viewers today.
