EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "ACA-F-042297-0000" showcases the exquisite Processional cross of the Chiesa di Santa Maria Maggiore in Guardiagrele, Chieti. The photograph, taken around 1930 by Alinari, Fratelli, beautifully captures the intricate details and profound symbolism of this remarkable artwork. Crafted by Nicola da Guardiagrele in 1431, this processional cross holds immense historical and religious significance. Located within the Basilica of S. Maria Maggiore in Guardiagrele, it serves as a testament to the devotion and artistic brilliance of its creator. The image features various elements that evoke deep contemplation. A pelican is depicted alongside birds and other vertebrates, symbolizing sacrifice and redemption found within Christian theology. The presence of Virgin Mary signifies her pivotal role as an integral figure in biblical narratives. The photo also highlights scenes from the New Testament: angelic figures representing divine intervention; moments from Christ's passion depicting his crucifixion, deposition from the cross, and resurrection; even a skeleton skull reminding viewers of life's ephemeral nature. Moreover, human anatomy plays a significant role here – nude figures are portrayed with meticulous attention to detail while emphasizing different parts of the body. St John the Evangelist stands prominently among them as a male saint closely associated with Christian religion. Alinari's masterful photography brings forth not only visual beauty but also invites contemplation on faith and spirituality through this extraordinary artwork. This print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into centuries-old religious traditions while appreciating artistry that has stood the test of time.
