EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of the choir-stalls in the Cathedral of Ascoli Piceno, Italy. The focal point of this image is "The Bishops chair" an exquisite piece crafted by Giovanni di Matteo, Paolino d'Ascoli's son, and maestro Grifone during the Renaissance period. Dating back to 1443-1448 and later modified in 1546, this wooden masterpiece exemplifies both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Its intricate design reflects the skilled craftsmanship prevalent during that era. The photograph itself was captured between 1915-1920 by Alinari Fratelli. The choir stall stands as a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage spanning over two millennia. It represents an amalgamation of various elements such as applied arts and crafts, sculpture, architecture, building decoration, and sections. This harmonious blend creates a visually stunning work that has stood the test of time. The bishops throne takes center stage within this composition with its ornate carvings and meticulous attention to detail. It serves not only as a functional seat but also as a symbol of authority within the ecclesiastical hierarchy. Alinari's skillful photography captures every nuance of this extraordinary artwork – from its delicate woodwork to its grandeur – allowing viewers to appreciate it even if they are unable to witness it firsthand. Through this photo print, we are transported into history; we can almost feel ourselves sitting on that very chair or admiring it from afar while surrounded by the resplendent beauty of Ascoli Piceno Cathedral.
