EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Monument of Cardinal Giulio Antonio Sartorio, a masterpiece created by the talented sculptor Giuliano Finelli. Preserved within the grand Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome, this commemorative equestrian monument is a true testament to Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Captured around 1930, this photograph allows us to marvel at the intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of Finelli's work. The artist skillfully captures every nuance of Cardinal Sartorio's likeness, from his regal attire to his dignified expression. The cardinal's portrait exudes an air of authority and piety, reflecting his esteemed position within the religious hierarchy. The composition also highlights other elements that add depth to this historical piece. An inscription can be seen on the monument, perhaps conveying important information about Cardinal Sartorio or serving as a dedication to his memory. Additionally, an object resembling a writing instrument rests on a pillow nearby, symbolizing communication and knowledge—a fitting tribute for someone who played such a significant role in religious affairs during the seventeenth century. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness not only an extraordinary work of art but also gain insight into fashion trends prevalent during that era. The cardinal's elaborate clothing reflects the opulence associated with European baroque style while providing valuable insights into male costume choices from that period. Anderson beautifully captures all these elements through their lens—allowing us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind Finelli's creation and its historical significance within Europe's first and second millenniums. This print serves as a visual gateway into history—an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in centuries past while contemplating artistry that has stood the test of time.
