EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent monument to the Doge Francesco Foscari, created by Antonio and Paolo Bregno. Located in the Church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in Venice, this stunning artwork showcases both the Early Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. In the upper part of the monument, we are greeted by a sight that exudes grace and virtue. The reclining figure of Doge Francesco Foscari rests peacefully alongside representations of the Cardinal Virtues. These virtues stand tall, symbolizing moral excellence and righteousness. Their presence next to the deceased doge serves as a reminder of his virtuous character during his lifetime. Moving our gaze downward, we encounter another layer of symbolism within this masterpiece. Here, we find depictions of Theological Virtues - faith, hope, and charity - which represent spiritual values deeply cherished by society at that time. The composition is meticulously crafted with intricate details that showcase exceptional skill and artistry. From every angle, one can appreciate how each element harmoniously contributes to conveying a sense of nobility and reverence for Doge Foscari's memory. This photograph was taken between 1915-1920 but depicts an artwork from XV century Italy when Andrea Bregno collaborated with his son Paolo on this remarkable sculpture. It is evident that their collaboration resulted in a timeless piece that continues to captivate viewers even centuries later. Through Alinari's lens, we are granted an opportunity to witness not only a work of art but also glimpses into history - Europe during its first millenniums AD – where concepts such as virtue were highly valued across various artistic periods like Renaissance-Baroque styles. Overall, this print invites us into a world where beauty intertwines with spirituality while paying homage to an esteemed leader whose legacy lives on through this extraordinary funerary monument.
