EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bas-relief depicting the zodiac sign of Sagittarius, located in the Chapel of Planets within the magnificent Malatestiano Temple in Rimini. The temple itself is an architectural marvel, boasting a fusion of High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that transport visitors to another era. The artwork featured in this photograph was created by Agostino di Duccio between 1449 and 1455. It beautifully captures the essence of Sagittarius, a centaur from Greco-Roman mythology known for its hybrid figure – half-human and half-horse. This allegorical representation symbolizes strength, agility, and freedom. The bas-relief is intricately carved into a pilaster strip on one side of the chapel's interior wall. Surrounding it are other decorative elements showcasing vegetation festoons that add an enchanting touch to this celestial scene. As we gaze upon this image captured by Alinari Fratelli around 1920-1930, we are transported back in time to witness the artistic mastery of Agostino di Duccio. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring as every curve and line brings life to this astronomical masterpiece. This photograph not only highlights the beauty of art but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. It reminds us how ancient civilizations revered celestial bodies like stars and incorporated them into their architecture as symbols of power and divinity. In conclusion, this print offers us a glimpse into both past eras – with its depiction rooted in first and second millennium Europe – while also capturing timeless concepts such as astrology, mythology, nature's influence on artistry through vegetal elements or compositions. It truly encapsulates the essence of high renaissance style combined with other influences from various periods - making it an invaluable piece for any art enthusiast or historian alike.
