EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the inlaid marble floor in the magnificent Cathedral of Siena. The focal point is none other than David himself, composing the psalms with utmost devotion and inspiration. This intricate artwork, created during the Late Gothic period, showcases the remarkable talent of Domenico di Niccolò dei Cori, known as Dei Cori. The image transports us back to a bygone era, between 1375 and 1470 AD when this masterpiece was crafted. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of art throughout history. The artist's skillful marquetry technique brings life to every element depicted – from David's expressive face to his delicate hands meticulously strumming a viola. As we gaze at this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of David's significance as one of Israel's revered kings. His connection with music is evident through his choice of instrument – an embodiment of communication and expression that transcends language barriers. The inscription accompanying this artwork adds another layer of intrigue and mystery. It invites us to delve deeper into biblical references found within Europe's Middle Ages, where faith played an integral role in shaping society. Brogi masterfully captured this photograph sometime between 1915 and 1920 AD while preserving its authenticity and grandeur for future generations to appreciate. Through Alinari's lens, we can experience firsthand the beauty that lies within Siena Cathedral’s hallowed halls. This print not only celebrates artistic brilliance but also serves as a reminder that great works endure across centuries – connecting people from different eras through shared appreciation for creativity and spirituality.
