EDITORS COMMENTS
Fragment with Two Seraphim" is a captivating work of art from the Circle of Desiderio Da Settignano, created approximately in the 1460s. This masterpiece, currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of the Italian Renaissance. The sculpture, carved from marble, depicts two seraphim, celestial beings in Christian theology, with their faces turned towards each other in an intimate exchange. Their bodies are delicately rendered, revealing the intricate details of their musculature and the subtle curves of their wings. The seraphs' faces, with their closed eyes and serene expressions, exude a sense of peace and divine connection. The fragmented nature of the sculpture, with only the upper torsos and wings of the seraphim preserved, adds to its intrigue. The absence of their lower bodies invites the viewer to imagine the rest of the figures and to focus on the intricacies of the details presented. The seraphim's wings, spread wide and adorned with intricate veins, demonstrate the artist's mastery of the medium. The delicate coloration and shading give the wings a lifelike quality, further enhancing the ethereal beauty of the sculpture. This work, originating from Europe, specifically Italy, is a testament to the artistic achievements of the 15th century. The Circle of Desiderio Da Settignano, a group of artists working under the influence of Desiderio Da Settignano, produced works that showcased the artistic innovations of the time. "Fragment with Two Seraphim" is a prime example of their skill and creativity. The sculpture's current location at LACMA allows art enthusiasts and scholars to study and appreciate this beautiful work, preserving its legacy for future generations.
