EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a significant historical moment in Siena, Italy. The image showcases "The Extension of the Hospital" fresco, painted by Domenico di Bartolo around 1442-43. In this scene, we witness the construction site of the Ospedale di Santa Maria della Scala, as it undergoes expansion thanks to a charitable donation from the bishop. A group of medieval builders can be seen diligently working amidst scaffolding and ladders, inspecting their progress with utmost care. The architectural marvels of Gothic design are evident in every brick laid down by these skilled craftsmen. Their dedication to constructing this renaissance masterpiece is truly commendable. This extension holds great significance for the pilgrims' hostel and infirmary known as "Pelerinage" providing much-needed support for those seeking solace during their spiritual journeys. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this historic moment through its lens, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind Domenico di Bartolo's fresco and the laborious efforts put forth by these anonymous builders. It serves as a reminder that charity knows no bounds when it comes to creating spaces dedicated to healing and compassion. This print not only immortalizes an important piece of Sienese history but also invites us to reflect on how acts of kindness can shape our communities for generations to come.
