EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of "Queen Esther" a stunning sculpture created by Giacomo Serpotta. The sculpture is located in the Saint Cita Church, nestled in the vibrant city of Palermo. Dating back to the 18th century, this Renaissance-Baroque masterpiece showcases Serpotta's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The artist skillfully portrays Queen Esther, a prominent figure from the Old Testament of the Bible, known for her courage and intelligence. In this photograph taken around 1890, we see Queen Esther depicted with grace and elegance. Her elaborate headdress adds an air of regality to her appearance while her clothing reflects the fashion trends of that period. A beautifully crafted belt adorns her waist as a symbol of power and authority. The statue's intricate details are further highlighted by Brogi's expert photography skills. Every curve and contour is brought to life through his lens, capturing not only the physical features but also conveying a sense of emotion and depth. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork frozen in time, we can't help but be transported back to an era where ancient history intertwines with artistry. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been instrumental in communicating stories from our pasts. Serpotta's "Queen Esther" stands as both a testament to his talent as an artist and as a representation of European society during its first millennium. This photograph allows us to appreciate its grandeur even after centuries have passed since its creation – truly showcasing why it remains such an important piece within Palermo's cultural heritage today.
