EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring Monument of the archbishop Remigio, beautifully enthroned among a sea of vibrant vestments in the historic Church of San Remigio, Fosdinovo. The statue itself is a remarkable example of Gothic art from the Middle Ages, showcasing Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. Dating back to the 14th century, this textile masterpiece is an exquisite display of applied arts and crafts. Adorned with intricate seraphs and angels, it exudes a sense of divine elegance. The archbishop's figure stands tall and commanding, wearing a majestic headdress that symbolizes his religious authority. Every detail has been meticulously crafted, including his pastoral staff which signifies his role as a spiritual leader. The male saint depicted here represents St. Remigius (Remy), who played a significant role in Christian history during the first and second millennium A. D. This monumental artwork serves as both an instrument for benediction and an object of veneration within Catholicism. Surrounded by lush vegetation and delicate leafy compositions, the archbishop sits upon an ornate throne befitting his esteemed position. The photograph showcases not only the artistic beauty but also highlights its historical context by featuring elements from Gothic architecture prevalent during this era. Captured between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli - renowned photographers known for their exceptional documentation of European culture - this image offers us a glimpse into centuries past while reminding us of our shared human history rooted in faith and devotion.
