EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of the monument to Cardinal Berardo Eroli in the Vatican Grottoes. The focal point of this print is a remarkable bas-relief depicting Saint Paul, created by the talented artist Giovanni Dalmata or Giovanni di Tra during the late 15th century. The image showcases Saint Paul, one of Christianity's most revered figures, with exquisite precision and artistry. Clad in traditional attire, he holds a sword firmly in his hand, symbolizing his unwavering dedication to spreading the teachings of Christ. A book rests beside him, representing his role as an influential writer and theologian. The photograph exudes an aura of mystery and spirituality as it transports us back to Europe during the Middle Ages. It serves as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage that has shaped our world throughout history. Dating back to around 1479, this artwork stands as a testament to Dalmata's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The intricate carving on display highlights his mastery over low relief technique—a true marvel for its time. Alinari's skillful photography beautifully captures every delicate contour and shadow within this masterpiece. Through their lens, we are able to appreciate not only Dalmata's artistic genius but also experience firsthand the awe-inspiring atmosphere found within Vatican City's sacred walls. This evocative print invites viewers into a realm where faith intertwines with artistry—a visual representation of devotion that transcends time itself. Whether you are captivated by religious iconography or simply drawn towards historical beauty, Alinari's photograph offers an enchanting glimpse into centuries past while honoring one man’s legacy: Cardinal Berardo Eroli.
