EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail from the baptismal font in the parish church of Sant'Agata al Cornocchio in Scarperia. The focal point of this print is a stunning statue, depicting an evangelist gracefully placed on top of a majestic lion. Dating back to the early Middle Ages, this artwork showcases the intricate craftsmanship and symbolism prevalent during that period in Europe. The statue represents an abstract concept and symbolizes the allegorical connection between terrestrial mammals and religious figures. The lion, with its regal presence, serves as a powerful representation of strength and courage. Its association with the evangelist suggests their shared characteristics such as bravery and fearlessness when spreading religious teachings. The male figure atop the lion is dressed in traditional medieval attire, reflecting the fashion and clothing style prevalent during that era. His religious habit signifies his role as an evangelist - someone devoted to sharing biblical teachings with others. As we delve into this image further, we are transported back through time to witness a significant piece of history. The photographer's lens captures not only the beauty but also preserves moments from centuries ago for us to appreciate today. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured this timeless masterpiece around 1931, allowing us to admire its intricacies even after many years have passed since it was created during IX-X sec (9th-10th century). This photograph serves as a testament to human creativity throughout different periods in history while reminding us of our rich cultural heritage.
