EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite detail of Giovanni Pisano's "Madonna with Child" sculpture in the Scrovegni Chapel in Padua. The photograph, taken between 1915 and 1920, showcases a moment frozen in time from the Gothic era of the Middle Ages. The sculpture itself is a testament to Pisano's artistic brilliance and mastery. Every delicate curve and intricate feature is beautifully preserved in this image, allowing viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating such a remarkable piece. The Madonna tenderly cradles her child, their expressions radiating love and serenity. What makes this photograph even more special is the inscription visible on the base of the sculpture. It proudly displays Giovanni Pisano's name along with the date of creation: 1305-1306. This small but significant detail connects us directly to history, reminding us that art has always been a powerful means of expression across centuries. As we gaze upon this stunning artwork through Alinari's lens, we are transported back to medieval Europe – an era filled with faith, devotion, and artistic genius. The presence of an angel hovering above adds another layer of spirituality to this scene while symbolizing divine protection for both mother and child. This print serves as a visual bridge between past and present; it allows us to appreciate not only Giovanni Pisano's talent but also his contribution to European art during one thousand years marked by profound historical events. In conclusion, Alinari Fratelli has captured an extraordinary moment in time through their lens - one that encapsulates beauty, history, faith, and love all within this single masterpiece by Giovanni Pisano.
