EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of the Pier of the façade of the Orvieto Cathedral, a true masterpiece from the Gothic era in Europe. Taken around 1890, this print showcases an artwork created by Lorenzo Maitani between 1320 and 1331. The scene depicted on this pier is nothing short of awe-inspiring. It portrays a theological subject - The Last Judgement - with an allegorical representation that delves into abstract concepts and symbols. At its core, it explores the concept of hell and its consequences through vivid imagery. One cannot help but be drawn to the devil himself, prominently featured within this composition. His menacing presence symbolizes evil and serves as a reminder of eternal damnation for those who stray from righteousness. Amidst this infernal backdrop lies an abundance of acanthus plants, herbaceous vegetation that adds depth to the overall design. The intricate branches and vegetal elements intertwine seamlessly, creating a briergothic aesthetic typical of medieval art during this period. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also encapsulates centuries worth of history within its frame. It represents both biblical teachings found in the New Testament as well as broader themes prevalent throughout Europe during these first two millennia. Alinari Fratelli's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every detail meticulously carved by Maitani all those years ago. This print invites viewers to delve into their imagination while contemplating profound theological subjects expressed through remarkable craftsmanship.
