EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Holy-water font, created by the renowned artist Matteo Civitali, within the magnificent St. Martin's Cathedral in Lucca. The cathedral itself is a testament to the rich history and architectural brilliance of Europe during the Early Renaissance period. The Holy-water font, dating back to the 15th century, stands as a remarkable example of Civitali's mastery in sculpture. Its intricate design and attention to detail are truly awe-inspiring. The delicate putto figure adorns this sacred vessel with grace and elegance, embodying both innocence and purity. Surrounded by lush acanthus leaves and other herbaceous plants, this composition exudes an ethereal beauty that transports viewers into a world where art seamlessly merges with nature. Each vegetal element contributes to an overall sense of harmony and balance within this Renaissance-Baroque masterpiece. Captured around 1900 by Brogi from Alinari, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only Civitali's artistic genius but also serves as a valuable historical document capturing an era long gone. It offers us a glimpse into the past when religious devotion was intricately intertwined with artistic expression. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but marvel at how art has transcended time and continues to inspire generations across centuries. This print invites us on a visual journey through European history while reminding us of our shared cultural heritage.
