EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable high relief in terracotta, depicting the profound moment of the Washing of the Apostles' feet. Created by the skilled hands of Michele da Firenze, this masterpiece can be found within the Pellegrini Chapel at the Church of S. Anastasia in Verona. The sculpture itself is a testament to Da Firenze's mastery and attention to detail. The intricate carvings bring to life each apostle as they gather around Jesus Christ during this significant event from the New Testament. The artist's ability to capture not only their physical features but also their emotions and expressions is truly awe-inspiring. The subject matter depicted in this artwork holds great significance within Christian religion. It represents an act of humility and servitude, as Jesus washes his disciples' feet, teaching them about love and compassion towards one another. This powerful scene serves as a reminder for believers to follow Christ's example in their own lives. Dating back to 1435, this piece bridges two distinct periods: Renaissance and Baroque styles. Its presence within Europe during these transformative centuries further emphasizes its historical importance. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back through time, connecting with both past generations who admired it and present viewers who continue to appreciate its beauty. Alinari Fratelli's photograph captures every intricate detail with precision and clarity while preserving its essence for future generations. Taken between 1915-1920 approximately, this image allows us to admire Da Firenze's work even if we cannot witness it firsthand. In conclusion, this print offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary artwork that embodies religious devotion, artistic brilliance, and cultural heritage spanning over several centuries – truly a treasure worth cherishing forever.
