EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene of a putto riding on a dolphin, adorning the door of the Chapel of the Relics in the Malatestian Temple, Rimini. The image showcases an exquisite blend of Early Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that epitomize Europe's artistic heritage from the first and second millennium A. D. Dating back to the 15th century (XV sec. ), this remarkable artwork was crafted by Agostino di Duccio, a master sculptor renowned for his intricate creations. The composition beautifully combines elements such as dolphins, cetaceans known for their gracefulness, alongside apostles and other figures from literature and fiction. The putto itself is depicted as a nude human-like figure symbolizing innocence and purity—a common motif during the Renaissance era. The photograph was taken between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli—an esteemed photography company—whose expertise in capturing art has allowed us to appreciate this masterpiece even today. Through their lens, they have immortalized every detail with precision, allowing viewers to marvel at Agostino di Duccio's craftsmanship centuries later. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness an era where religious narratives intertwined with artistic expression. It serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural history while showcasing how different styles evolved over time—from Early Renaissance to Renaissance-Baroque influences. This print not only encapsulates artistry but also highlights our fascination with nature; it reminds us of our connection with animals like dolphins—majestic creatures that continue to captivate us till this day. Let this mesmerizing depiction transport you into a world where imagination meets reality—a true celebration of European artistry through centuries past.
