EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Jacopo Torriti's masterpiece, "Incoronazione della Vergine" (Coronation of the Virgin). The mosaic artwork adorns the apse of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome, Italy. Dating back to around 1295, this Gothic marvel transports us to a bygone era - the Middle Ages. The photograph itself was taken approximately in 1890, allowing us a glimpse into history within history. It serves as a bridge between two different epochs - capturing an artwork that is already several centuries old at that time. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than Jacopo Torriti himself, who flourished during the late 13th century. As we delve deeper into this image, our eyes are drawn to intricate details: from delicate crowns and jewelry adorned by figures representing angels and Mary herself; to various objects symbolizing applied arts and crafts such as books and writing instruments. These elements speak volumes about communication during that period. The central figure of Virgin Mary stands gracefully amidst all these representations of her life - a subject deeply revered throughout Christian art history. She holds baby Jesus Christ on her lap while being surrounded by heavenly beings offering their blessings upon her coronation. The scene exudes an aura of divine serenity with its gothic architecture serving as backdrop – reminding us of Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning across multiple millennia. This print from Alinari allows us to appreciate not only Torriti's artistic genius but also offers a window into European history during both the first and second millennium A. D. , showcasing how art has been used as means for communication throughout centuries.
