EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Porta della Rana" on the side of the Cathedral of Como. A true testament to Renaissance art, this work is renowned for its opulent ornamental motifs and exquisite craftsmanship. Dating back to 1491-1509, this masterpiece was created by the talented artists Tommaso and Giacomo Rodari. The Porta della Rana represents a harmonious blend of Early Renaissance, Renaissance, and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The photograph itself was taken around 1900 by Brogi from Alinari, capturing the timeless beauty of this architectural gem. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at every intricate detail that adorns the portal. At first glance, one cannot help but be drawn to the central figure depicted in relief: Virgin Mary herself. Her serene presence radiates grace as she stands alongside St. Elizabeth during their visitation—a significant event in Christian religion symbolizing unity and divine intervention. Surrounding them are lush vegetal elements that further enhance the overall composition's richness. These natural elements serve as a reminder of life's abundance and fertility while adding depth to this remarkable artwork. As we delve deeper into history through this photograph, it becomes evident why Porta della Rana is considered an exemplary representation of Renaissance artistry. Its elaborate design captivates viewers with its refined aesthetics—truly a sight to behold for anyone with an appreciation for European artistic heritage spanning over two millennia.
