EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable bas-relief depicting Mathematics, created by the talented artist Agostino di Duccio. The artwork is located in the Chapel of the Liberal Arts, within the magnificent Malatestiano Temple in Rimini. Dating back to 1456 during the Early Renaissance period, this bas-relief showcases intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. It beautifully combines elements of both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, representing Europe's artistic evolution during the first and second millenniums. The composition features a female figure holding a papyrus scroll and writing instrument, symbolizing communication and knowledge. She stands against an allegorical backdrop that represents abstract concepts related to mathematics. The capital of a pilaster strip adorned with acanthus leaves adds architectural elegance to the scene. The woman's clothing reflects both civilian and religious influences, as she wears a veil along with a headdress commonly seen during this era. Surrounding her are festoons composed of herbaceous plants, adding natural beauty to the overall design. Captured sometime between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, this photograph preserves not only Agostino di Duccio's masterpiece but also serves as an important historical document showcasing art from centuries past. It allows us to appreciate how artists like Agostino were able to convey complex ideas through their creations while simultaneously reflecting societal norms and cultural aesthetics. This print invites viewers into a world where art intertwines with mathematics—a testament to human creativity throughout history.
