EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of the Tomb of Cardinal Pietro Riario, located in the Santissimi Apostoli Church in Rome. The focus is on the exquisite high relief sculpture depicting the Madonna and Child, created by renowned artist Mino da Fiesole during the early Renaissance period. The artwork itself dates back to approximately 1474-1484 AD, showcasing Mino da Fiesole's mastery in capturing delicate details and emotions within his sculptures. The Madonna, dressed in her traditional habit, cradles her divine child with tenderness and grace. Their serene expressions convey a sense of tranquility that resonates through time. The photograph was taken around 1900-1910 AD by Brogi from Alinari, offering us a glimpse into this timeless masterpiece over a century ago. It showcases not only the artistic brilliance but also highlights various elements such as clothing fashion prevalent during that era. Intriguingly, we can observe different types of headwear worn by both religious figures and civilians depicted within this piece. Additionally, there are subtle references to military attire symbolizing power and authority associated with cardinalship. The presence of a young child adds an endearing touch to this composition while emphasizing themes related to life and representations of the Virgin Mary throughout history. Furthermore, we cannot overlook the prominent figure seated on an intricately carved throne holding a globe – representing worldly influence held by cardinals within Christian religion. Overall, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Mino da Fiesole's exceptional craftsmanship but also provides insight into European art styles spanning multiple periods - from early Renaissance to Renaissance-Baroque influences - making it an invaluable cultural artifact worth cherishing for generations to come.
