EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent chest that once belonged to the esteemed Alessandri Family. The piece of furniture was discovered in the historic Vincigliata Castle, nestled near the enchanting town of Fiesole. Dating back to the late Renaissance period, this chest is a true testament to the opulence and grandeur of European artistry during that time. Its intricate design features elements from both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, reflecting the artistic evolution of Europe over centuries. The photograph itself was taken between 1915-1920, capturing every exquisite detail of this remarkable piece. The artwork on the chest depicts a mesmerizing harpy, a mythical creature with its roots in Greco-Roman mythology. Surrounding it are delicate acanthus leaves and other herbaceous plants, adding an organic touch to its regal appearance. A prominent crest adorns this chest as well, serving as an emblem for the Alessandri Family's noble lineage. It exudes sophistication and carries echoes of ancient heraldic traditions. Brogi's masterful photography brings out every nuance and texture present on this extraordinary piece. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at its timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the splendor of Italian craftsmanship during one of history's most influential periods – XVI century Italy. This image serves as a reminder that art has no expiration date; it continues to inspire awe and admiration across generations.
