EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the altar in the Church of Sant'Abbondio, located in Como, Italy. The artwork depicted here is titled "Stories of the life of Sant'Abbondio" and it belongs to the late Renaissance period, showcasing elements from both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The photograph was taken between 1915 and 1920 by Alinari, Fratelli, capturing this exquisite piece with remarkable precision. The high relief sculpture portrays various scenes from the life of Sant'Abbondio, a saint revered for his devout Christian faith. Amongst these intricate depictions are figures such as an angel, Madonna and Child, St. Sebastian, Catherine of Alexandria - all significant characters within religious narratives. Notably rich in symbolism and meaning, this artwork offers a glimpse into European history during the first and second millennium A. D. , specifically highlighting aspects related to Christianity's influence on society at that time. The attention to detail is evident not only in the lifelike representation of each figure but also in their clothing choices which reflect contemporary fashion trends prevalent during the XVI century. This print serves as a testament to Alinari's exceptional talent as a photographer while also preserving an invaluable piece of art history for generations to come. It allows viewers to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this altarpiece but also its cultural significance within Europe's historical context.
