EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art, the Lunette adorned with a high relief representing the Beheading of St. Regolo, found on the right Portal of the Cathedral of S. Martino in Lucca. The photograph, taken around 1890, beautifully captures this Romanesque masterpiece that dates back to the 13th century. The image portrays an array of elements that transport us to a different time and place. In it, we see a sword-wielding figure clad in armor and military equipment engaged in an intense scene depicting the beheading of St. Regolo. This portrayal not only highlights themes related to armed forces and military life but also provides insights into fashion and clothing styles prevalent during this period. The central focus remains on St. Regolo himself – a male saint who met his martyrdom for his Christian beliefs. His stoic expression amidst aggression conveys both strength and faithfulness to his religion. Surrounding this dramatic scene is lush vegetation that adds depth and context to the artwork's setting, subtly hinting at society and politics during medieval Europe's first and second millenniums. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this photograph without any commercial intent but rather as an appreciation for artistry from centuries past. Through their lens, they have immortalized this exquisite lunette for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time - witnessing not just an artistic creation but also glimpses into historical events, religious devotion, societal dynamics, and even fashion choices from long ago. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while reminding us of our shared cultural heritage across continents and millennia.
