EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking beauty of Bologna's Cathedral of Saint Petronius' central portal, adorned with exquisite sculptures by the renowned artist Jacopo della Quercia. The image transports us back in time to the early Renaissance period, showcasing the intricate details and masterful craftsmanship that defined this era. The photograph was taken around 1920-1930, allowing us a glimpse into a bygone era while highlighting the enduring appeal of this architectural masterpiece. Della Quercia's sculptures, created between 1425 and 1438, stand as a testament to his artistic genius and contribute to Bologna's rich cultural heritage. As we examine the photograph closely, we can discern various subjects depicted within these sculptures - prophets, people, Madonna and Child - all representing different aspects of Christian religion. The presence of St. Anthony Abbot is also notable, symbolizing devotion and spirituality during this period. The composition skillfully captures both the grandeur of the cathedral itself and its spiritual significance for those who enter through its doors. The play of light and shadow adds depth to each sculpture while emphasizing their lifelike qualities. This artwork represents not only an important piece in Europe's artistic history but also serves as a visual reminder of our connection to past civilizations. It reminds us that art has always been an integral part of human expression throughout centuries. Brogi Giacomo from Alinari's photographic studio expertly captured this timeless scene with great attention to detail. This print allows viewers today to appreciate both Della Quercia's mastery as well as Brogi Giacomo’s talent behind capturing such historical moments on film.
