EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of history - two roller towels for a processional canopy, showcased at the exhibition of sacred art in 1900, Bologna. The towels were specifically presented for the S. A. R. Duke of Orleans, adding an air of grandeur to this already exquisite display. The image transports us back to the Renaissance period, with its intricate details and opulent design. Created during the XVI century, these roller towels reflect the textile renaissance that swept through Europe during this time. Their craftsmanship showcases both Renaissance and Baroque styles, making them true masterpieces of their era. Intriguingly, this photograph was taken between 1915-1920 by Alinari Fratelli - capturing not only the beauty of these historical artifacts but also providing us with a glimpse into early 20th-century photography techniques. As we delve deeper into this image's composition, we notice various elements that add depth and meaning to its narrative. A knight is depicted alongside Christian religious symbols such as vegetation and standards adorned with crests and emblems. These heraldic ornaments further emphasize the importance and significance attached to these roller towels within their cultural context. It is fascinating to consider how such objects were used in processions or ceremonies during banquets or other significant events throughout European history. This print offers us a unique opportunity to appreciate not just the visual aesthetics but also gain insights into eating habits prevalent during that time. Alinari Fratelli's skillful capture allows us to marvel at these extraordinary roller towels while simultaneously immersing ourselves in centuries-old traditions and customs associated with European nobility.
