EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite glazed terracotta sculpture of St Luke the Evangelist, which is carefully preserved in the Presbytery of the Church of St Maria delle Grazie in Stia. The artwork, created by the renowned Della Robbia family during the 15th and 16th centuries, beautifully exemplifies High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. In this image captured around 1890 by Alinari, Fratelli, we are presented with a close-up view of St Luke himself. The evangelist stands tall and dignified, adorned in traditional attire that reflects the fashion and clothing trends of his time. His costume exudes an air of sophistication and elegance, perfectly complementing his role as a significant figure in religious history. St Luke holds a book high above him - undoubtedly symbolizing his authorship of one of the four Gospels found within the New Testament. This visual representation not only emphasizes his importance as an evangelist but also serves as a reminder to viewers about the power and significance contained within these sacred texts. The craftsmanship displayed on this glazed terracotta sculpture is truly remarkable. Every intricate detail has been meticulously sculpted to create lifelike features that capture both physical attributes and spiritual essence. It is evident that great skill was employed to achieve such precision. As we admire this photograph from Alinari's collection, we are transported back through time to witness firsthand one aspect of Europe's rich artistic heritage spanning across multiple centuries. This stunning piece serves as a testament to human creativity throughout different historical eras while reminding us of our connection to faith and spirituality that transcends time itself.
