EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of the Tomb of Ilaria del Carretto, a remarkable work attributed to Jacopo della Quercia. Located in the Cathedral of San Martino in Lucca, Italy, this exquisite funerary monument is a true testament to the artistry of the Early Renaissance period. The image transports us back to 1938 when it was taken by Alinari, Fratelli. The delicate details and intricate craftsmanship are beautifully highlighted against the backdrop of time-worn stone walls. The tomb itself stands as an enduring symbol of love and remembrance for Ilaria del Carretto, whose life ended tragically at a young age. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn not only to the grandeur of the sculpture but also to its surroundings. A charming dog sits faithfully at Ilaria's feet while a putto figure delicately holds onto her flowing gown. These elements add depth and emotion to an already poignant scene. Intriguingly, literature and fiction seem intertwined with history as we observe a child-like figure draped in costume beside Ilaria's resting place. This evokes curiosity about their connection and adds an air of mystery to this artistic composition. Nature also plays a role in enhancing this visual experience; festoons adorned with vegetal elements gracefully frame the tomb, adding both elegance and symbolism. Through Alinari's lens, we are transported into another era - one where Renaissance-Baroque styles merged seamlessly with Europe's rich cultural heritage from previous centuries. This photograph serves as both a historical document capturing an artwork dating back to 1408 by Della Quercia Jacopo (1374-1438) and as an aesthetic delight that continues to captivate viewers even today.
