EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a lost treasure - The statue of the Holy Child, also known as the Bambinello dell'Aracoeli. Located in the Chapel of the Child within the Church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, Rome, this magnificent work of art has a rich history that dates back to the 15th century. The statue itself is a stunning example of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, showcasing intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail. Adorned with jewelry and an exquisite crown, it exudes an air of regality befitting its divine subject. Resting on a pillow, it radiates serenity and innocence. Tragically, this precious artwork was stolen in 1994 and has yet to be recovered. Its disappearance left a void not only within the walls of Santa Maria in Aracoeli but also within the hearts of those who held it dear. Efforts have been made over the years to locate this irreplaceable piece, but its whereabouts remain unknown. As we gaze upon this vintage photograph taken around 1890, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand what once graced this sacred space. It serves as a poignant reminder that even though physical objects may vanish from our sight, their significance endures through memory and documentation. Anderson's skillful capture allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical importance encapsulated by The statue of Holy Child (Bambinello dell'Aracoeli). It stands as a testament not only to religious devotion but also to humanity's enduring fascination with art throughout Europe's first two millennia. May this image serve as a tribute to all that has been lost while igniting hope for its eventual rediscovery – so that future generations can marvel at its splendor once more.
