EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of the tomb of brothers Francesco and Nicola Anguillara, located in the enchanting church of Saint Francis in Capranica. The exquisite artwork is a testament to the Early Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that swept across Europe during the first and second millenniums. The focal point of this image is two statues lying down on top of the sarcophagus, representing the deceased brothers. Dressed in military attire, their clothing reflects both fashion and social status during the Renaissance period. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold in their garments seems meticulously carved, emphasizing their noble lineage. Surrounding these figures are intricate architectural elements such as acanthus leaves adorning pillars and an angelic figure hovering above them. These symbolic features evoke notions of death, allegory, abstract concepts, and religious beliefs prevalent at that time. A tent-like structure with delicate drapery serves as a backdrop for this poignant scene. It adds an ethereal touch while also alluding to housing or shelter for eternal rest. A pillow placed beneath one statue's head signifies comfort even in death. Noteworthy details include crests or emblems denoting nobility prominently displayed on various elements throughout this composition. They serve as reminders of their esteemed social standing within society. Captured by Brogi from Alinari around 1915-1920 AD. , this photograph immortalizes an extraordinary piece of art dating back to approximately 1408 AD. , showcasing its timeless beauty despite centuries passing by. It encapsulates not only historical significance but also represents a harmonious blend between early Renaissance aesthetics and later Baroque influences. Intriguingly complex yet visually stunning, this print invites us into a world where history intertwines with artistic mastery – inviting contemplation about life's transience while celebrating enduring artistic legacies from our past.
