EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the orphanage of Santa Maria della Scala in Siena during the 15th century. Painted by Domenico di Bartolo, this fresco showcases various aspects of daily life within the orphanage walls. On the left side, we see nurturing nurses tending to abandoned children, providing them with love and care. Meanwhile, on the right side, a pregnant woman is depicted being forced into marriage, highlighting societal pressures of that time. The artwork beautifully portrays scenes from different areas of the orphanage. In one corner, we witness a bustling kitchen where meals are prepared for hungry mouths. The attention to detail is remarkable as it captures not only human figures but also elements such as jewelry and clothing styles prevalent during the Renaissance period. The fresco also sheds light on other activities taking place within these walls - teachers engaging with children in learning sessions and games being played among young ones. It offers us a glimpse into their world - an environment filled with both severity and moments of joy. Overall, this piece serves as a valuable historical record showcasing not just architectural details but also social dynamics surrounding education, nourishment, labor practices, and even fashion trends during that era. Through Luisa Ricciarini's lens capturing this incredible artwork from Ospedale di Santa Maria della Scala in Siena Italy; we are transported back in time to experience life within this unique setting firsthand.
