EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of the Tombstone of Bonincontro de'Boateri, a bas-relief masterpiece created by an artist from the School of the Dalle Masegne brothers. Located in the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, nestled in the enchanting city of Venice, this artwork is a testament to both High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The image showcases the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterized European art during the First and Second Millennium A. D. The date of this particular photograph is estimated to be around 1900, while the tombstone itself was crafted back in 1481 by Dalle Masegne's school. Intriguing elements within this composition include various religious symbols such as books, writing instruments, and communication tools. The clothing worn by figures depicted on this tombstone reflects fashion trends from that era - headdresses ranging from civilian to military and religious attire can be observed. Notably present is a bishop or clergy member holding a pastoral staff, symbolizing their role within Christian religion. Adding further visual interest are acanthus plants intertwined with crests and emblems that adorn different sections of this artwork. These botanical motifs were commonly used during Renaissance Europe as decorative elements. The photo also highlights other furnishings found within sacred spaces like chairs seats adorned with tiaras or miters along with mantles or cloaks draped over them. These details provide insight into how these spaces were designed during high renaissance periods. Captured by Alinari Fratelli for artistic documentation rather than commercial use, this photograph serves as a valuable historical record showcasing not only exquisite artistry but also providing glimpses into cultural practices prevalent during those times.
