EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of the Sarcophagus of Santa Giustina, a remarkable piece of art created in 1476. Etched by Bernard Collier in 1881, this print showcases the marble tomb made for the church of Santa Giustina in Padua, Italy. The front panel of the sarcophagus features a relief carving depicting the body of Saint Giustina lying on a bier and covered with a cloth. On either end, angelic figures can be seen swinging censers. The photograph is taken from "The South Kensington Museum" an engraved illustration book that documents various works of art housed at what is now known as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. This artifact from both the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries provides us with a glimpse into medieval religious practices and artistic craftsmanship. With its delicate engravings and attention to detail, this image invites viewers to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its aesthetic beauty. It serves as a reminder of how art has always played an essential role in expressing faith and commemorating those who have passed away. Bernard Collier's skillful capture allows us to explore this exquisite sarcophagus without being physically present at the museum itself. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand this stunning example of Renaissance artistry intertwined with religious devotion.
