EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Italian Renaissance architecture. The image captures a roundel and pilaster from a spandrel, dating back to around 1420, created by the renowned artist Andrea della Robbia (1435-1525). This exquisite artwork is located in the Ospedale degli Innocenti, also known as the Foundling Hospital of the Innocents, in Florence, Italy. The photograph beautifully highlights the intricate details of this composite capital adorned with delicate bandages. It evokes a sense of compassion and care as it symbolizes an orphanage where infants were swaddled and provided for with utmost charity. The architectural elements designed by Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446) are evident in this composition. Giuliano Valsecchi skillfully captured this timeless masterpiece through his lens, showcasing its historical significance. The monochromatic tones add depth to every line and curve, emphasizing the craftsmanship involved in creating such an extraordinary piece. This print not only serves as a visual treat for art enthusiasts but also acts as a window into history. It transports viewers to fifteenth-century Italy when artistry flourished alongside philanthropy. With its rich cultural heritage and profound symbolism, this image invites contemplation on both artistic mastery and societal values that have endured throughout centuries.
