EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a timeless masterpiece, "The Presepe" created by the school of Della Robbia and preserved in the church of the Augustinians in Poppi, Arezzo. The low relief bas-relief artwork showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that Europe witnessed during the first and second millenniums. Dating back to approximately 1890, this photograph provides a glimpse into an artwork from the XVI century. Created by Della Robbia's school, it depicts various elements from biblical narratives such as shepherd figures immersed in farming and country life, alongside significant religious figures like Virgin Mary and angels. The nativity scene beautifully portrays moments from Christ's life. Intriguingly, this composition also includes animals like donkeys and oxen within its structure or place. The subjects are adorned with headdresses representing civilian, military, or religious backgrounds while showcasing their fashion choices of that era. The presence of male nudes highlights human bodies as an integral part of artistic expression during this period. Saints play a prominent role in Christian religion represented here through St. Francis of Assisi and Bernardino. Vegetal elements seamlessly blend with these figures creating a harmonious composition that reflects nature's beauty alongside divine intervention. Every object within this piece has been meticulously crafted to convey a sense of spirituality inherent in European culture during those times. "The Presepe" is not just an art form but also serves as a visual representation derived from Bible's New Testament teachings. It transports viewers to ancient times when grotto stalls were common settings for important events related to Christianity. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this photograph without mentioning any commercial use intentions but rather aimed at preserving history through art documentation for generations to come.
