EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite flooring of the Chapel of St. Sebastian in the Basilica of St. Petronius, located in the enchanting city of Bologna. The intricate design and craftsmanship displayed on this floor epitomize various artistic styles and periods, including High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque, and Renaissance. Dating back to the 16th century, this artwork is a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. The photograph itself was captured between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, renowned for their exceptional talent in capturing timeless moments. As we delve into this image, our eyes are drawn to an array of fascinating elements that adorn the chapel's flooring. Among them are beautifully carved chairs and other furnishings designed specifically for civic spaces. Inscriptions and writings can be spotted throughout, serving as instruments of communication from centuries past. Nature also finds its place within this masterpiece; snails gracefully crawl alongside gasteropods and mollusks while birds soar above verdant vegetation. A terrestrial dog stands proudly amidst a group of deer, adding a touch of life to this scene. A charming putto figure emerges from within these surroundings—a symbol often found in literature and fiction during the Renaissance period—holding a leafy vegetal element known as brier. The overall composition is further enhanced by ribbons that weave through each intricately crafted detail with finesse—an unmistakable hallmark of both High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured not just an image but also a glimpse into history—a visual representation that transports us back in time to appreciate the remarkable artistry present within one corner of Bologna's magnificent Basilica di San Petronio.
