EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing marble frieze with winged putti playing, showcasing the incredible talent of Agostino di Duccio. The artwork is found in the Isotta chapel, within the magnificent Malatesta Temple in Rimini. The intricate details of this high Renaissance masterpiece are beautifully preserved in this print from the 1920s or 1930s. Created between 1449 and 1455, Agostino di Duccio's work showcases his mastery over various artistic styles and periods, including Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque. In this composition, we see a group of cherubic putti engaged in playful activities. Their delicate wings flutter as they communicate through writing instruments, immersing themselves in literature and fiction. Each child-like figure exudes innocence and charm while their nude bodies emphasize their vulnerability. Amongst them lies an array of symbolic elements such as briers representing obstacles faced by humanity, vegetal compositions symbolizing growth and life force, crowns denoting royalty or divinity, wings signifying freedom or spirituality, wreaths embodying victory or honor, and garlands representing celebration. Agostino di Duccio's attention to detail is evident not only in the exquisite rendering of each element but also in his ability to capture emotions on these stone figures' faces. This artwork serves as a testament to the artist's skillful craftsmanship during a time when sculptors were revered for their ability to breathe life into cold marble. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Brogi from Alinari today, we are transported back centuries ago to witness firsthand the magnificence of European art during its golden age.
