EDITORS COMMENTS
The Presbytery and the Tomb of Robert of Anjou: A Glimpse into Medieval Europe". This print takes us back in time to the Middle Ages, specifically to the church of Santa Chiara in Naples. The focal point is undoubtedly the presbytery and tomb of Robert of Anjou, also known as Robert the Wise. Dating back to 1343-1345, this remarkable artwork was created by Giovanni Bertini and Pacio Bertini. The composition is rich with symbolism and allegory, showcasing various abstract concepts such as astronomy, virtue, music, geometry, rhetoric, arithmetic, grammar, dialectic – all essential disciplines during that era. The male figure depicted here represents a communication instrument through his inscription writing. The sepulchre itself stands tall within this Christian funerary structure adorned with intricate architectural details like spires and pilasters. It exudes an air of nobility befitting its occupant - Robert of Anjou. As we explore every corner of this photograph's frame captured by Alinari Fratelli in 1954; our eyes are drawn to an angelic figure hovering above the tomb. This celestial presence adds a touch of ethereal beauty to an already awe-inspiring scene. This image not only provides us with a glimpse into medieval European history but also serves as a reminder that art has always been a powerful medium for expressing religious devotion and commemorating significant figures from our past. Whether you are fascinated by historical architecture or intrigued by symbolic representations found within biblical texts like those from the New Testament; this print offers a visual feast for anyone seeking to delve deeper into Europe's first and second millennium AD.
