EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of a Bust of a Fonseca family member, created by the renowned school of Gian Lorenzo Bernini. Situated in the historic church of S. Lorenzo in Lucina, Rome, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic brilliance of both its creator and the Renaissance-Baroque styles that defined Europe during the seventeenth century. The subject portrayed in this artwork remains anonymous but exudes an air of elegance and sophistication through her elaborate costume and fashion choices. She wears a veil delicately draped over her head, adding an aura of mystery to her presence. The headdress she adorns showcases intricate details that highlight both civilian and religious influences on fashion during this period. A striking accessory adds further allure to this portrait as it accentuates her features with grace. Her mantle cloak envelops her shoulders, creating a sense of grandeur befitting someone from noble lineage. Dating back to around 1670, this sculpture embodies the mastery for which Gian Lorenzo Bernini's school was celebrated throughout history. Its placement within S. Lorenzo in Lucina only enhances its significance as it becomes part of Rome's rich cultural heritage. Captured by Anderson circa 1924, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind Bernini's creation but also serves as a window into European history spanning multiple centuries - from Baroque influences to Renaissance-Baroque styles that shaped Europe during its first and second millenniums. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time; witnessing not just an artwork but also glimpsing into an era where fashion merged with artistry to create timeless masterpieces like these.
