EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the Tomb of St. Prosdocimus, a marble sarcofagus adorned with an antependium depicting the saint himself. Created by the skilled hands of Giovanni Francesco de' Surdis in 1562, this masterpiece resides within the sacred walls of the Church of Santa Giustina in Padua. The image transports us back to 1963 when it was captured by Alinari, Fratelli. It showcases not only the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating this tomb but also provides a glimpse into history itself. The tomb's high Renaissance style is evident through its intricate details and harmonious proportions. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, we are drawn to various elements surrounding the tomb. A chasuble hangs gracefully nearby, representing religious attire from centuries past. This male garment serves as a reminder of both fashion and clothing during that era. A headdress catches our attention next – a tiara miter worn by bishops symbolizing their authority within Christian religion. Alongside it stands a pastoral staff, an instrument or object used by clergy members for guidance and support. Intriguingly, there is also a candelabrum present in this composition, casting soft shadows on these relics from another time. Its presence adds an ethereal ambiance to the scene while reminding us of spiritual devotion throughout history. This photograph encapsulates not just one period but multiple styles spanning across Europe's first and second millenniums – from High Renaissance to Renaissance-Baroque influences. Through Alinari's lens, we are transported through time as we admire this posthumous portrait honoring St. Prosdocimus – his legacy preserved forever within these hallowed walls.
