EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate details of a relief depicting Diana or the Moon, part of a series by Agostino di Duccio showcasing planetary symbols and zodiac signs. Created around 1450, this piece is housed in the Chapel of the Planets within Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini, Italy.
The craftsmanship of Agostino di Duccio shines through in this plaster relief, showcasing his mastery of form and texture. The sickle moon is prominently featured, symbolizing Diana's association with the night sky and lunar cycles. The chariot and crescent motifs further emphasize her connection to celestial bodies.
As one gazes upon this work of art, they are transported back to the Renaissance era when astrology and astronomy were closely intertwined. The Corinthian pilaster framing the relief adds an architectural element that enhances its grandeur.
Captured expertly by photographer Raffaello Bencini, every curve and line is brought to life in this photo print. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with the cosmos and our enduring quest to understand our place within it.
This image is not just a representation of Diana or the Moon; it is a testament to human creativity and ingenuity throughout history.
