EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite bas-reliefs of the main Portal of the Certosa of Pavia, transporting us to a bygone era. The scene depicted in this particular bas-relief is none other than the Birth of the Virgin Mary, an iconic moment in Christian history. The craftsmanship exhibited in these bas-reliefs is truly remarkable, showcasing both High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles that were prevalent during Europe's first and second millenniums. Created by Benedetto Briosco in 1501, these intricate sculptures are a testament to his artistic genius. In this image, we see a harmonious blend of various elements coming together seamlessly. The central focus is on the Virgin Mary herself, portrayed as a young woman dressed elegantly in period clothing. She exudes grace and purity as she cradles her newborn child with tender love. Surrounding them are symbolic representations such as an eagle soaring above, symbolizing divinity and spirituality. Birds flutter nearby, adding life to this mesmerizing tableau. Intricate vegetal compositions adorn the background frieze, further enhancing its aesthetic appeal. This print was captured between 1875-1910 by Brogi from Alinari studios - renowned for their expertise in capturing timeless art pieces through photography. As we gaze upon this artwork frozen in time through Brogi's lens, we can't help but marvel at how it effortlessly transports us back centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to appreciate the beauty that lies within ancient masterpieces like these bas-reliefs from Certosa di Pavia monastery.
