EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of St. Dominic, a masterpiece created by the renowned artist G. B. Della Porta. Located in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome, this awe-inspiring sculpture is a true testament to the Mannerism and Renaissance-Baroque styles that dominated Europe during the First and Second Millennium A. D. Captured in 1917, this photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Della Porta's work, which was completed between 1570-1602. The artist skillfully portrays St. Dominic with an air of serenity and wisdom on his face, capturing his devoutness as a Christian saint. The religious significance of this artwork is further emphasized by St. Dominic holding a book in his hands—a symbol of knowledge and enlightenment within Christianity. His flowing robes drape gracefully around him, adding an element of elegance to the composition. As we delve into this image, we are transported back in time to witness not only the artistic brilliance but also gain insight into historical fashion trends prevalent during that era. The clothing worn by St. Dominic reflects both religious attire and contemporary fashion choices. This print serves as a reminder of how art has evolved over centuries while still retaining its ability to inspire awe and admiration today. It captures not just an object or a person but encompasses elements such as religion, history, culture, and artistic expression—making it truly remarkable. Anderson's lens has successfully immortalized this iconic statue for generations to come—an exquisite piece that continues to resonate with viewers worldwide beyond its original purpose within religious contexts
