EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate bas-reliefs by Tullio Lombardo, adorning the chapel of the Giustiniani family in the Church of San Francesco della Vigna, Venice. The artwork depicts four prominent prophets - Malachias, Habakkuk, Jeremiah, and Moses - with episodes from the life of Christ positioned above them. The bas-reliefs showcase Lombardo's mastery in blending late Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Created between 1495 and 1510, these exquisite sculptures are a testament to his artistic brilliance during this period in Europe's history. Each prophet is depicted with great attention to detail. Their headdresses reflect their respective roles as civilians, military figures, or religious leaders. The flowing mantles and cloaks they wear add an air of grandeur to their presence. Above them are scenes depicting significant moments from the life of Christ. These episodes serve as a visual representation of communication between heaven and earth through biblical narratives found both in the Old Testament and New Testament. The photograph itself was taken around 1900 by Alinari Fratelli. It beautifully captures not only the artistry but also highlights how well-preserved these bas-reliefs have remained over time. Visiting this chapel allows one to immerse themselves in a rich tapestry that combines religious symbolism with artistic excellence. It serves as a reminder of Venice's cultural heritage during its golden age when artists like Tullio Lombardo flourished under patronage from influential families such as Giustiniani.
