EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable bas-relief depicting the planet Diana, created by the talented artist Agostino di Duccio. Located in the Chapel of Planets within the magnificent Malatestiano Temple in Rimini, Italy, this artwork showcases the fusion of Early Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Dating back to approximately 1450-1456 AD, this exquisite piece portrays an allegorical representation of Diana, the Roman goddess associated with the moon. The female figure is depicted alongside a majestic horse on a terrestrial landscape. The intricate details of both figures highlight Agostino di Duccio's mastery in sculpting mammals and vertebrates. The bas-relief adorns one of the pilaster strips within this architectural masterpiece. It serves as a decorative element that adds depth and symbolism to the chapel's overall design. The female figure wears clothing typical for daytime activities during that era, including a veil and headdress reflecting civilian or religious fashion trends. Incorporating elements from Greco-Roman mythology, Artemis Diana is portrayed here as a divinity surrounded by festoons of vegetal compositions. This combination creates an ethereal atmosphere around her divine presence. Captured between 1920-1930 AD by Alinari Fratelli photographers, this print beautifully preserves not only Agostino di Duccio's artistic brilliance but also provides us with insight into European art during its early Renaissance period. With its rich historical significance and breathtaking beauty, this bas-relief continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation. It stands as a testament to human creativity and our enduring fascination with mythological narratives intertwined with nature's wonders
