EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite choir stalls in the Church of Santa Giustina in Padua, Italy. With its stunning Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, this piece of artwork is a true testament to the rich history and artistic brilliance of Europe. Dating back to around 1477, these choir stalls were crafted by the talented artist Riccardo Taurigny. Made from wood, these furnishings for sacred spaces are not just functional objects but also works of art in their own right. The attention to detail and intricate carvings on each chair seat reflect the mastery of applied arts and crafts during this period. In this particular photograph taken around 1900, we can see a male figure seated on one of the choir stalls. This saintly person is believed to be St. Paul or St. Peter, symbolizing the Christian religion that has been an integral part of European culture for centuries. The composition captures both the grandeur and serenity found within religious spaces like this church in Padua. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the image while highlighting every delicate feature carved into these magnificent chairs. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time by Anderson from Alinari's collection, it serves as a reminder that art transcends time itself. It allows us to connect with past eras and appreciate how craftsmanship has evolved over first and second millenniums AD. Let us cherish such masterpieces that continue to inspire awe through their beauty and historical significance – reminding us of our shared cultural heritage across generations.
