EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite bas-reliefs by Tullio Lombardo, adorning the Giustiniani chapel in the Church of San Francesco della Vigna, Venice. The intricate artwork depicts four prophets and episodes from the life of Christ, showcasing Lombardo's mastery of late Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. In this image, we see a group of people gathered around these remarkable bas-reliefs. Their gazes are fixed upon the prophetic figures carved with meticulous detail into the stone. One can almost feel their awe and reverence as they contemplate these sacred scenes. The central figure is Ezekiel, his headdress distinguishing him as a prophet. With an angelic seraph beside him, he stands tall amidst other figures representing various episodes from Christ's life. Each character is adorned in fashion typical of the Renaissance period – their clothing flowing gracefully around them. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes evident that it serves as a powerful means of communication between past and present. It transports us back to Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. , allowing us to witness firsthand the artistic brilliance that flourished during this era. The significance of biblical stories depicted here cannot be understated; they serve as reminders of faith and spirituality for generations to come. This print by Alinari Fratelli beautifully captures not only Lombardo's artistry but also preserves an important piece of history for all who gaze upon it. Let this photograph transport you to a time when art was used as a medium for storytelling, where every stroke held meaning beyond its aesthetic appeal. Immerse yourself in these masterful bas-reliefs and let them inspire contemplation on both religious devotion and artistic excellence.
