EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic Apollo, a bronze statue created by the renowned Jacopo Sansovino. The statue is located in the Loggetta at the base of St. Mark's bell tower in Venice, standing as a testament to the city's rich artistic heritage. Dating back to 1540-1545, this masterpiece exemplifies High Renaissance artistry and showcases elements of both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Its creation by Jacopo Tatti, also known as Sansovino, further adds to its historical significance. The photograph itself was taken between 1915-1920 by Alinari Fratelli, capturing every intricate detail of this divine sculpture. With its focus on architectural elements such as niches and building sections surrounding Apollo, it highlights not only his magnificence but also his integration within the overall structure. Apollo stands tall with an awe-inspiring male nude body that exudes strength and grace. As a symbol of divinity from Greco-Roman mythology, he embodies ideals that were highly revered during the Renaissance period in Europe. This artwork serves as a powerful representation of European history spanning across two millennia - from ancient times to more recent centuries. It evokes feelings of admiration for classical beauty while showcasing how artists like Sansovino seamlessly blended different artistic styles throughout time. Alinari Fratelli's masterful photography allows us to appreciate this extraordinary piece even if we cannot witness it firsthand. Through their lens, they have immortalized Apollo's timeless presence within St. Mark's Square for generations to come.
