EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Shrine with the statue of the Enthroned Virgin Mary with Child, a remarkable sculpture located in the Church of Saint Francis of Assisi in Palermo. The artwork itself dates back to the 15th century, representing both late Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The image captures every intricate detail of this religious masterpiece, highlighting its historical significance within Europe's cultural heritage. The shrine stands as a testament to centuries of devotion and faith, evoking a sense of awe and reverence for those who behold it. The composition focuses on the central figure of the Virgin Mary seated on an ornate throne, cradling her divine child in her arms. Both figures exude grace and serenity, their expressions radiating love and compassion. Surrounding them are angelic figures that add an ethereal quality to this sacred scene. Noteworthy elements include various forms of clothing worn by different characters – from civilian headdresses to military attire – symbolizing diverse aspects of society united under their shared devotion. Intricate acanthus leaves adorn architectural details while vegetal elements like briers contribute to a lush backdrop. A shell-like object hints at spiritual symbolism while delicate wings add an airiness to the overall composition. Dating back over a century ago, this photograph offers us a glimpse into history when it was captured around 1890. Through Brogi's lens, we can appreciate not only his technical skill but also his ability to capture the essence and beauty inherent in such religious artistry. This print serves as a visual portal into another time – one where spirituality intertwined with artistic expression flourished during Europe's first millennium onwards. It invites contemplation on themes such as motherhood, divinity, literature inspired by these subjects found within religious texts like Bible's New Testament or even fashion choices prevalent during that era such as mantles cloaks reflecting Renaissance-Baroque styles popular then. In summary, this print by Brogi from Alinari encapsulates the timeless allure
