EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of Tommaso Orsolino's marble antependium with scenes from the Holy Story, housed in Pavia's Carthusian Monastery. The intricate details of this masterpiece are brought to life through the lens, showcasing the craftsmanship and artistry that went into its creation. The antependium, created between 1636-1677, is a stunning example of both Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. It depicts various scenes from biblical stories, including the story of Abraham and Isaac, symbolizing sacrifice and faith. The presence of God the Father overlooking these events adds a sense of divine intervention to the composition. Natural elements such as clouds and meteorological phenomena surround these religious narratives, hinting at an existential concept or perhaps representing human psychology in relation to spirituality. A figure resembling an angel can be seen ascending a staircase-like object or ladderbaroque towards heaven, further emphasizing themes of transcendence. The photograph also highlights other figures present on this magnificent artwork: saints, mythological characters from Greco-Roman mythology like St. Michael, as well as ordinary individuals who play their part in shaping Christian religion. Dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. , this print by Brogi captures not only a physical representation but also delves into physiological and psychological aspects associated with religious beliefs during that time period. It serves as a visual testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage while inviting viewers to explore literature and fiction inspired by these biblical tales. Alinari has masterfully captured every detail in this photograph without compromising its artistic integrity or commercial use intentions. Through their lenswork, they have allowed us all to appreciate Orsolino's masterpiece for generations to come.
