EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Altar piece with Madonna, Child and Saints" a remarkable work of art preserved in the St Anthony Chapel within the Sacro Eremo (Holy Hermitage) of Camaldoli. The altarpiece, created during the Renaissance period in Europe, beautifully combines both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The photograph was taken around 1920-30, capturing the intricate details and profound beauty of this masterpiece. The artwork itself dates back to the 15th century (XV sec. ), attributed to Della Robbia's school. It portrays a divine scene featuring Madonna and Child surrounded by saints. Every element within this composition holds symbolic significance. The figures exude a sense of serenity and grace, emphasizing their religious importance. Their clothing reflects contemporary fashion from that era while also conveying spiritual meaning. Notably, one saint is depicted nude, highlighting human vulnerability juxtaposed against divine divinity. This contrast adds depth to the artwork's narrative as it explores various aspects of life and representations of the Virgin Mary. A frieze adorned with delicate flowers adorns the altar piece—a testament to nature's inherent beauty intertwined with religious devotion. A crown rests atop Madonna's head symbolizing her regal status as Queen of Heaven according to Christian beliefs. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary work of sculpture but also serves as a visual portal into European history spanning over two millennia—showcasing artistic styles from different periods across time. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this image, allowing viewers today to appreciate its magnificence even if they cannot witness it firsthand at Camaldoli Holy Hermitage in Arezzo.
