EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the awe-inspiring Cathedral of Pisa, where history and art intertwine. The focal point is a magnificent capital, skillfully sculpted by Giovan Battista Foggini, proudly standing on the right side of the choir. Dating back to 1683-1691, this Baroque masterpiece showcases Foggini's exceptional craftsmanship. Carved from marble, it exudes elegance and grandeur with its intricate details and meticulous design. As our eyes wander across the artwork, we are greeted by a mesmerizing array of symbolic elements. An eagle soars gracefully atop the capital, representing strength and power. A bull stands majestically nearby as a symbol of fertility and prosperity. Both male and female figures grace this sculpture; their nude bodies embodying human beauty in all its forms. A child also makes an appearance amidst this artistic marvel, perhaps symbolizing innocence or new beginnings. Surrounding these figures are acanthus leaves - delicate herbaceous plants that add a touch of natural splendor to the composition. But what truly captivates our attention is a grotesque mask or gargoyle-like figure adorning one corner of the capital. Its presence adds an element of mystery and intrigue to an otherwise harmonious scene. This photograph was taken between 1920-1930 by Brogi from Alinari studios – masters in capturing timeless moments through their lens. It serves as both a testament to their photographic prowess as well as preserving this remarkable piece for future generations to admire. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be transported back in time - immersing ourselves in centuries-old European artistry while marveling at Foggini's extraordinary talent that continues to inspire even today.
