EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of two masterpieces, "The Baptismal Font" by Guido da Como and "The Pulpit" by Nicola Pisano, located in the Baptistery of Pisa. The image transports us back to the Romanesque period of the Middle Ages in Europe. In the foreground stands Guido da Como's remarkable creation, the Baptismal Font. Its intricate details are brought to life through this print, showcasing delicate leaf motifs and vegetal elements that adorn its surface. This font served as a sacred vessel for baptisms during an era when religious rituals held immense significance. Adjacent to it is Nicola Pisano's awe-inspiring Pulpit, which commands attention with its grandeur and craftsmanship. Carved from stone, this masterpiece features elaborate vegetation-inspired designs that intertwine seamlessly with biblical scenes depicted on its panels. It serves as a testament to Pisano's unrivaled talent and his contribution to Italian sculpture during the 13th century. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured this moment in time around 1900 AD when these ancient artworks were already several centuries old. Their expertise allows us to appreciate every minute detail of these architectural wonders despite their age. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back through time - witnessing not only the artistic brilliance of Bigarelli, Guido but also experiencing a glimpse into medieval European history. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how art has always been an integral part of human expression throughout different epochs.
