EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Sepulchral monument of Cardinal Savelli, a magnificent piece of art located in the historic Church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, Rome. Taken around 1890, this print showcases the intricate details and profound symbolism present in this funerary monument. The sepulchral monument stands as a testament to death itself, with its allegorical representations and abstract concepts. The aged figure of Cardinal Savelli is depicted alongside an angel, symbolizing his transition from earthly life to heavenly existence. A Madonna and Child sculpture further emphasizes the religious significance of this structure. The photograph beautifully highlights the ornate vegetation surrounding the sepulchre, adorned with festoons and crests that signify nobility. These elements serve as emblems representing both individual identity and Christian faith. Notably, this artwork also delves into physiological and psychological aspects by incorporating biblical figures such as St. Paul and Peter. Their presence adds depth to the composition while referencing important events from the New Testament. Anderson's expert photography skillfully captures every detail of this remarkable piece within Santa Maria in Aracoeli church. Through his lens, viewers can appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this sepulchral monument but also its historical significance within Roman Catholicism. This print serves as a window into history—a glimpse into an era when art was used to express complex ideas about life, death, religion, power, and identity. It invites us to reflect on our own mortality while appreciating timeless beauty created by human hands centuries ago.
