EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound emotions and intricate details of the Volont family tomb, located in the renowned Monumental Cemetery in Milan. Created by Emilio Quadrelli, a talented artist of the late 19th century, this artwork depicts a heart-wrenching scene between a crying woman and a man lying down. The image showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and architectural beauty of this Christian funerary structure. The tomb's design reflects the artistic style prevalent during Europe's 19th century, showcasing its significance as an art form from that era. The photograph itself was taken around 1900, providing us with a glimpse into history. Quadrelli's attention to detail is evident in every element captured within this piece. From the delicate positioning of their bodies to their intertwined hands and expressive faces, it portrays an intense sense of affection and physical rapport between these two individuals. Their nakedness further emphasizes vulnerability while adding depth to their emotional connection. As we observe this powerful image, we are reminded of both physiological and psychological aspects related to love, loss, grief, and human connection. The woman's tender embrace and kiss convey her deep sorrow for losing her loved one while also symbolizing eternal devotion. This photograph not only serves as an exquisite work of art but also offers insights into society at that time – exploring themes such as age, death, mourning rituals, communication through visual arts – all encapsulated within one frame. Giacomo Brogi skillfully captured this masterpiece using his photographic expertise at Alinari Stabilimento Fotografico. Through his lens, he immortalized Quadrelli's creation for generations to come - allowing us today to appreciate its beauty and contemplate its profound meaning.
