EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the Door of the Oratory of San Bernardino da Siena in Assisi. The door, a stunning example of Renaissance-Baroque architecture, is adorned with intricate building elements and decorations that transport viewers to another era. At the center of this magnificent artwork stands St. Bernard, flanked by two graceful angels inside a lunette. The low relief sculpture skillfully depicts these figures, bringing them to life within the confines of stone and marble. St. Bernard's presence exudes a sense of serenity and wisdom, while the angels emanate an ethereal aura. The composition showcases not only religious symbolism but also meticulous craftsmanship. Every detail has been meticulously carved by artists Francesco Zampa and Girolamo Di Bartolomeo in 1488, showcasing their mastery over sculpting techniques prevalent during that time. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli, we are transported back through centuries to witness the magnificence of European artistry from both Renaissance and Baroque periods. The grandeur captured here serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. The Door of the Oratory invites us into its sacred space; it beckons us to explore further into its depths where Christian faith intertwines with architectural splendor. This image reminds us that art can transcend time itself – it allows us to connect with our past while appreciating its enduring beauty in our present day.
