EDITORS COMMENTS
Fragment with Seraph Enframed by His Wings," a captivating work of art from the Circle of Desiderio Da Settignano, dates back to the 1460s and is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Italian Renaissance. This exquisite marble sculpture, currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases the intricate details and masterful craftsmanship of the period. The sculpture depicts a seraphim, a celestial being from Judeo-Christian and Islamic traditions, enveloped by the folds of his magnificent wings. The seraph's face, with its serene expression and closed eyes, conveys a sense of deep contemplation and spiritual devotion. The delicate features of his face, including the finely carved nose, lips, and eyebrows, are a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the human form. The wings of the seraph are a marvel in themselves, with intricate veins and feathers that create a sense of movement and life. The wings are not only a visual feast but also a technical achievement, demonstrating the artist's ability to carve such intricate details in marble. The sculpture is displayed on a modern stone base, which provides a stark contrast to the ancient marble, highlighting its timeless beauty. The work's provenance is not definitively known, but it is believed to have originated from Europe, possibly Italy, given the style and technique. The Fragment with Seraph Enframed by His Wings is not only a significant addition to LACMA's collection but also a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the European continent. This masterpiece is a must-see for anyone interested in the arts, bodies of work from the fifteenth century, or the religious art of the Italian Renaissance. The intricate details, the sense of movement and life, and the spiritual depth conveyed by the seraph's face make this sculpture a truly captivating work of art.
