EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magnificent St. Peter's See, a sculptural work in bronze by the renowned artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Housed within the grandeur of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City, this masterpiece stands as a testament to Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Dating back to 1656-1665, Bernini's creation is an awe-inspiring representation of the Bishop's Throne. The intricate details and craftsmanship are beautifully preserved in this image taken around 1880-1890 by D'Alessandri Brothers. The sculpture itself embodies various symbolic elements that evoke deep spiritual meaning. A cloud-like structure serves as a backdrop, representing the holy spirit and abstract concepts associated with it. An angelic figure or putto hovers above, adding an ethereal touch to the composition. As one gazes upon this print, they can't help but be transported into a world where literature and fiction intertwine with religious devotion. The male saint depicted holds an object resembling a key - perhaps alluding to biblical references such as St. Augustine being given "the keys" to heaven. The fusion of Baroque influences from Europe's first and second millenniums is evident in every curve and line of this artwork. It speaks volumes about Bernini's mastery as he seamlessly blends different artistic periods into one harmonious piece. D'Alessandri Brothers' photography skillfully captures not only the physicality of this sculpture but also its profound spiritual essence. This image invites viewers to contemplate their own faith while marveling at Bernini's genius. In conclusion, this remarkable photograph immortalizes Gian Lorenzo Bernini’s St. Peter’s See within St. Peter’s Basilica – an enduring symbol of Christian religion and artistic brilliance spanning centuries.
