EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the incredible artwork of Andrea della Robbia. The glazed terra cotta tondo depicts St. Paul healing a sick man and is located between two arches of the old Ospedale di San Paolo in Florence's Piazza Santa Maria Novella. The intricate details of this Renaissance masterpiece are brought to life through the lens of Alinari, Fratelli, who expertly captured the essence and beauty of this historic artwork. The photograph itself dates back to around 1890, while the original artwork was created between 1451 and 1495. In this image, we see St. Paul portrayed as a male saint with his hands gently placed on a sick man's head. This powerful depiction showcases not only the religious significance but also highlights themes such as compassion and healing within Christian religion. The presence of poverty is evident in this scene, emphasizing social status and society's dynamics during that period in Europe's history. It serves as a reminder that even amidst hardship, faith can bring solace and hope to those who need it most. The Renaissance-Baroque style shines through every curve and contour of this low relief bas-relief sculpture. Its timeless appeal transcends centuries, making it an enduring symbol of artistic excellence from both stylistic periods. Alinari has masterfully captured all these elements within one frame – history, artistry, spirituality – transporting us back to an era where craftsmanship flourished alongside societal challenges. This photograph stands as a testament to human creativity throughout the first and second millenniums AD. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Alinari featuring "St. Paul healing a sick man" we are reminded once again why Florence remains an unparalleled hub for art enthusiasts worldwide.
