EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Silver Altar of Saint James the Major, a true masterpiece of art and craftsmanship. The focus is on the antependium, which beautifully depicts scenes from the New Testament - specifically, The Adoration of the Magi and The Incredulity of Saint Thomas. Created by Andrea di Jacopo d'Ognabene in 1316, this silvered altar is a testament to devotion and faith. Its intricate carvings and bas-reliefs bring these biblical stories to life with remarkable detail. Every curve and line tells a story, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the rich history depicted. The artist's skill shines through as he captures moments such as the adoration of baby Jesus by three kings or magi who have traveled far to pay homage. Equally compelling is his portrayal of doubting St. Thomas touching Christ's wounds after his resurrection. Located in the Chapel of Crucifix within Pistoia's Duomo Cathedral in Tuscany, Italy, this altarpiece commands attention with its grandeur and spiritual significance. It serves as a reminder that art has long been intertwined with religion, providing believers with visual representations that deepen their connection to their faith. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures this extraordinary piece through her lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even from afar. This print transports us into an era where religious devotion was celebrated through meticulous metalwork and artistic expression – truly an awe-inspiring sight for all admirers of medieval artistry.
