EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate detail of the Tomb of Cardinal Pietro Riario, located in the Santissimi Apostoli Church in Rome. The tomb, dating back to the Renaissance period between 1474 and 1484, is a remarkable example of Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The photograph itself was taken around 1900-1910 by Brogi from Alinari, capturing every nuance of this magnificent artwork. The image focuses on a specific detail - the sarcophagus - which stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. In this particular shot, attention is drawn to a putto figure adorned with various elements that represent literature and fiction. This cherubic character wears clothing indicative of different roles: civilian, military, and religious. A headdress adds an air of mystery while emphasizing their connection to Christian religion. As we explore further into the composition, festoons made up of vegetal elements gracefully drape across the scene. These delicate decorations enhance the overall aesthetic appeal while symbolizing growth and life. Notably present are objects such as masks that evoke an atmosphere reminiscent of Renaissance Europe. Additionally, a tiara miter worn by one figure signifies their high-ranking position within religious hierarchy – perhaps even representing Cardinal Pietro Riario himself. This print serves as both an artistic marvel and historical artifact; it transports us back through time to appreciate Mino da Fiesole's craftsmanship during this significant era in European history. By preserving these details for posterity through photography, we can continue to admire and study these masterpieces for generations to come without commercial intentions or purposes mentioned
