EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of a glazed terracotta bust of St. Linus, attributed to the renowned artist Andrea della Robbia. Located in the Museo Diocesano di Arte Sacra in Volterra, this remarkable piece of art is a true testament to the mastery and creativity of its creator. The bust portrays St. Linus with utmost precision and attention to detail. His serene expression exudes wisdom and devotion, while his delicate features are brought to life through the skillful use of glazing techniques. The intricate folds of his cope, a symbol of his religious authority as a bishop, cascade gracefully around his shoulders, adding an air of majesty to the composition. St. Linus holds a book in one hand, symbolizing knowledge and spiritual guidance that he imparts upon others as part of his role within Christian religion. His other hand rests gently on an instrument or gesture that remains open for interpretation - perhaps it represents communication or signifies some deeper meaning known only by those who study this artwork closely. The inscription on the base provides historical context: "Date of Artwork: 1460-1525" suggests that this masterpiece has endured centuries while retaining its timeless allure. The photograph itself was taken between 1915-1920 by Brogi from Alinari, capturing not just the artwork but also preserving a moment in time when people marveled at its magnificence. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how art can transcend generations and evoke emotions that resonate deeply within us all. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing fashions and evolving styles, true artistic brilliance endures forever.
