EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of the decoration found on the sepulchre of Pius V in the Paolina Chapel, located within the magnificent Basilica di S. Maria Maggiore in Rome. The artwork depicted here dates back to the late Renaissance period, specifically between 1585 and 1590. In this particular scene, we witness an allegorical representation of the expulsion of a devil who has conjured up a tempestuous storm upon the sea. The artist skillfully portrays this abstract concept through intricate details and symbolism. The storm itself is depicted with meteorological precision, showcasing its destructive power as waves crash against a small boat navigating through treacherous waters. The landscape surrounding this dramatic event is that of a serene seascape, highlighting both beauty and danger simultaneously. A sailboat can be seen battling against nature's fury, emphasizing mankind's resilience in facing adversity head-on. This artwork exemplifies various styles and periods prevalent during its creation - late Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque - showcasing Europe's rich artistic heritage from both first and second millenniums A. D. Captured around 1917 by Anderson from Alinari, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with historical masterpieces.
