EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Portal of the Church of Saint Barbara in Naples, a true testament to Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The doorway itself is an architectural marvel, but it is the lunette that truly steals the show. Framed within this grand entrance is a breathtaking depiction of the Madonna and angels, masterfully crafted by Andrea dell'Aquila. The artwork on display here dates back to the 15th century, showcasing its enduring beauty and historical significance. The Madonna and child take center stage, radiating grace and serenity as they are surrounded by celestial beings. Every intricate detail is captured with precision in this photograph, allowing us to appreciate dell'Aquila's skillful brushstrokes even from a distance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where religious art flourished throughout Europe. The subject matter speaks volumes about life and representations of the Virgin Mary, drawing inspiration from biblical narratives found in the New Testament. In addition to these divine figures, our eyes are drawn towards lush vegetation adorning the composition. This vegetal element adds depth and symbolism to the overall piece while also reflecting renaissance aesthetics prevalent during that period. Photographed between 1879-1910 ca. , this print by Brogi showcases not only his talent behind the lens but also his ability to capture such timeless beauty for generations to come. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and space while offering us glimpses into history's most treasured creations.
