EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable bas-relief that adorns the presbytery wall of St. Anthony's Basilica in Padua, Italy. The artwork, titled "Adoration of the Golden Calf" was created by the talented artist Bartolomeo Bellano during the Early Renaissance period between 1484 and 1488. The bas-relief depicts a scene from the Old Testament, where Moses discovers his people worshipping a golden calf instead of God. In this intricate sculpture, Bellano skillfully portrays Moses as he confronts his followers with tablets of the law in hand. Surrounding him are numerous men and women, all captivated by their idolatrous act. The attention to detail is astounding; every figure is meticulously carved to convey emotion and movement. An angel hovers above them all, symbolizing divine intervention amidst their sinful actions. Set against a backdrop of a barren desert landscape, this bas-relief tells a powerful story through its composition and symbolism. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a reminder of biblical teachings. Captured around 1890 by Anderson from Alinari, this photograph preserves not only Bellano's exceptional craftsmanship but also provides us with insight into European art history during the Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. As we gaze upon this print today, we can appreciate how it represents an important era in human creativity while reminding us of timeless moral lessons found within religious texts like the Bible.
