EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent bas-reliefs adorning the main portal of the Certosa of Pavia, a Carthusian Monastery in Pavia, Italy. The intricate scenes depicted on these reliefs depict significant moments in religious history and are a testament to the artistic brilliance of Benedetto Briosco, who created them in 1501 during the High Renaissance period. The photograph captures two distinct themes portrayed on these bas-reliefs. Firstly, scenes representing the Foundation of the church and the Approval of the Rule are showcased with remarkable detail and precision. These images provide insight into the origins and establishment of this sacred place. Additionally, racemes adorned with depictions from the lives of John the Baptist and St. Ambrose can be observed. These intricately carved elements add further depth to this architectural masterpiece, showcasing both religious figures' stories within their respective racemes. The overall façade of this church is an amalgamation of different styles and periods including High Renaissance as well as Renaissance-Baroque influences. Its grandeur stands as a testament to European artistry throughout centuries spanning from First to Second Millennium A. D. Dating back between 1875-1910 when this photograph was captured by Brogi for Alinari's collection, it serves as a valuable historical document preserving not only Briosco's artwork but also providing insights into fashion trends prevalent during that era. In conclusion, this print allows us to marvel at Benedetto Briosco's masterful craftsmanship while offering glimpses into important religious events through its detailed bas-reliefs. It stands as an enduring symbol of Europe's rich cultural heritage across various artistic styles and periods while capturing our imagination with its timeless beauty.
