EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite stucco sculpture of "La Fortuna" by Giacomo Serpotta, housed in the Oratorio del Rosario in Palermo. Dating back to 1714-1717, this masterpiece represents the late Baroque period and showcases elements of both Renaissance-Baroque styles. The photograph itself was taken around 1920-1930 by Alinari, Fratelli. It beautifully highlights the intricate details of Serpotta's work, showcasing his mastery in capturing human gestures and emotions through sculpture. In this particular piece, La Fortuna is depicted as an allegory for fortune. The abstract concept is brought to life through the artist's skillful use of drapery, clothing, and accessories such as a headdress adorned with shells. The attention to detail is remarkable – every fold in the fabric seems alive while every strand of hair intricately carved. Serpotta's La Fortuna stands tall against a backdrop that exudes baroque opulence. The print allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also provides insight into European art during this time period. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage and how artists like Giacomo Serpotta were able to express complex concepts through their creations. This photograph invites us to immerse ourselves in history and marvel at the beauty that can be achieved when talent meets inspiration.
