EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mounted relic attributed to the renowned artist Ugolino di Vieri. The relic, adorned with intricate circles and crowned by a radiant cross, is an exquisite example of Siennese art from the Gothic period in the Middle Ages. Displayed at the Exhibition of Antique Siennese Art, this reliquary was once owned by the esteemed Marquis Niccolini near Frosini, in the environs of Chiusdino within the province of Siena. The photograph itself was captured between 1915 and 1920, providing us with a glimpse into this remarkable piece that dates back to approximately 1300-1380 AD. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic beauty but also as a testament to European culture during both the first and second millenniums. Intriguingly, this image reveals more than just an object; it transports us into a world where lions roam freely on terrestrial landscapes. These majestic mammals symbolize strength and power while adding another layer of symbolism to this extraordinary tabernacle. The architectural elements surrounding the reliquary further enhance its grandeur. Every detail has been carefully crafted to create a masterpiece that stands as an enduring representation of Gothic artistry. Alinari Fratelli's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every aspect of this mesmerizing artwork without being physically present at its location. It serves as a reminder that even though time may separate us from these ancient treasures, their beauty can still be admired through images like these.
