EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a timeless masterpiece of art, the "Madonna and Child with the infant St. John" sculptural group by Tommaso Lombardo. Located in the historic church of San Sebastiano in Venice, this exquisite piece showcases the artistic brilliance of late Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The photograph was taken around 1915-1920, providing us with a glimpse into this remarkable artwork created in 1577. Lombardo's skillful craftsmanship is evident as he beautifully depicts the Madonna and Child alongside the infant St. John, creating an atmosphere that exudes serenity and devotion. The Virgin Mary stands gracefully adorned in a veil and headdress, symbolizing her divine presence. Her expression radiates maternal love as she cradles baby Jesus tenderly in her arms. The child's innocence is captured flawlessly through his naked form, emphasizing his vulnerability yet also highlighting his role as savior. Beside them stands St. John the Baptist, depicted as a young boy holding a cross - an emblematic representation of his future role as Christ's messenger. This harmonious scene portrays not only physical rapport but also spiritual connection between these holy figures. As we delve into this artwork's historical context, it becomes apparent that it holds great significance within Christian religion and society during its time. Its creation during Europe's first millennium reflects both religious devotion and societal values prevalent during that era. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully preserved this momentous sculpture through their expert photography skills, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today. This print serves as a testament to human creativity across different periods while reminding us of our rich cultural heritage rooted in artistry from centuries past.
