EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Altar cross in gilded copper, a true masterpiece of jewellery that has found its place in the esteemed Collection of Duke L. Bevilacqua, located in the enchanting city of Bologna. This remarkable piece dates back to the Gothic era during the Middle Ages, representing a significant artifact from Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. The photograph itself was captured between 1915 and 1920, offering us a glimpse into this magnificent work of art that originated around the 14th century. The craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in every curve and embellishment are truly awe-inspiring. As we delve deeper into this image, we encounter various symbolic elements associated with religious themes. The presence of angels and figures alludes to divine intervention while evoking a sense of spirituality within its viewers. Moreover, literature and fiction come alive through intricate depictions portraying scenes from the life of Christ as well as representations of Virgin Mary. Notably, one cannot ignore the male figure depicted on this altar cross wearing only a loincloth - perhaps symbolizing vulnerability or sacrifice. Additionally, saints play an integral role within Christian religion and their portrayal further enriches our understanding of faith during medieval times. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captures these details through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance encapsulated within this single frame. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, it serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while inviting contemplation on our own spiritual journey across time.
