EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable bas relief of Saturn, an allegory of the planet. The artwork is housed in the Sacrament Chapel, also known as the Chapel of the Planets, within the Malatesta Chapel in Rimini. Created by Agostino di Duccio during the Early Renaissance period, this exquisite low relief showcases elements from various artistic styles and periods including Renaissance-Baroque. The image was taken between 1920-1930 and provides a glimpse into this magnificent piece of art that dates back to 1450-1456. Agostino di Duccio, a renowned artist who lived from 1418 until before 1488, skillfully crafted this masterpiece with intricate details and precision. Intriguingly diverse subjects are depicted within this bas relief. From tools used for farming to representations of male figures engaged in country life activities, every element tells a story. Symbolism plays a significant role throughout the artwork; abstract concepts are beautifully intertwined with architectural elements like pilaster strips. The presence of both civilian and military figures adds depth to this composition while religious symbolism can be observed through depictions of divinities and mythological creatures. Vegetal elements adorn sections of the bas relief, creating an enchanting visual feast for viewers. One cannot help but notice Kronos (Saturn) wielding his scythe sickle amidst Greco-Roman influences present throughout the artwork. This fusion reflects both early Renaissance aesthetics as well as European artistic traditions spanning across two millennia. Captured by Brogi from Alinari using photography techniques popular during that era, this print allows us to appreciate not only Agostino di Duccio's exceptional craftsmanship but also offers insight into historical fashion trends showcased through clothing choices worn by various figures portrayed within this mesmerizing work of art.
