EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the awe-inspiring Pulpit by Giovanni Pisano, located in the historic church of Sant'Andrea in Pistoia. The pulpit, a masterpiece of Gothic art from the Middle Ages, stands as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. Dating back to around 1298-1301, this intricately carved artwork showcases Giovanni Pisano's exceptional talent and craftsmanship. The image reveals an array of fascinating details: an eagle perched on top symbolizing divinity and spirituality; birds soaring freely through the air; various vertebrates including a majestic lion representing strength; prophets and evangelists depicted as human figures with angelic wings. The people portrayed are dressed in medieval costumes, offering us a glimpse into fashion and clothing during that period. Among them is a female figure believed to be one of the mythological sibyls - wise women who were said to possess prophetic abilities. The composition exudes an aura of grandeur and reverence, transporting viewers back in time to an era when religious art played a central role in society. It serves as both a visual representation of biblical stories from both the Old Testament and New Testament as well as incorporating elements inspired by Greco-Roman mythology. This particular print was captured around 1890 by Brogi for Alinari, showcasing not only their technical expertise but also their dedication to preserving historical treasures through photography. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are reminded of our connection to past civilizations while appreciating the enduring beauty that transcends time.
