EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting world of medieval Europe. The image showcases a remarkable relief from the architrave of the Main Portal of Siena Cathedral, depicting the "Stories of St Gioacchino and St Anna". Crafted by the talented artist Tino di Camaino around 1300 AD, this high relief Gothic masterpiece is a testament to both artistic skill and religious devotion. The scene depicted in this artwork revolves around two significant figures: St Gioacchino and St Anna. They are portrayed with great detail, their ancient costumes reflecting the fashion and clothing styles prevalent during that period. This representation offers a glimpse into the life and stories associated with these revered saints. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we cannot help but be drawn to other important women present in this composition. Among them is Mary, known as Virgin Mary or simply as Anne – an iconic figure within Christian religion. Her presence adds depth to this narrative, intertwining her story with that of her parents. The intricate details carved into this relief speak volumes about its historical significance. It serves as a visual reminder of biblical tales from the New Testament while also showcasing elements unique to Gothic artistry. Captured by Alinari Fratelli circa 1890, this photograph not only preserves an exquisite piece of art but also allows us to appreciate it through a different lens - one that transcends time itself. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but marvel at how such masterpieces continue to inspire awe even after centuries have passed since their creation.
