EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite marble medallion of "S. Francesca Romana and the angel" created by the renowned school of Bernini. Preserved within the sacred walls of the Church of S. Francesca Romana in Rome, this masterpiece is a testament to both artistic brilliance and religious devotion. Dating back to around 1650, this low relief bas-relief showcases Gian Lorenzo Bernini's exceptional skill in sculpting human figures with remarkable precision. The delicate features of S. Francesca Romana, depicted as a child surrounded by an ethereal angel, are brought to life through intricate details that highlight her innocence and purity. The artist's mastery is evident in every aspect of this work: from the tender expression on S. Francesca Romana's face to the flawless rendering of each body part, including their flowing garments that seem almost weightless against their bodies. As a symbol of Christian faith, this sculpture holds great significance for believers who visit this historic church seeking solace and inspiration. Its presence serves as a reminder not only of S. Francesca Romana's saintly virtues but also invites contemplation on one's own spiritual journey. Intriguingly captured in 1923 by Anderson from Alinari, this photograph allows us to appreciate both its physical beauty and historical importance today. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into physiological and psychological aspects associated with religion while contemplating biblical teachings found within the New Testament. Whether admired for its artistic excellence or revered for its religious symbolism, "S. Francesca Romana and the angel" continues to captivate all who encounter it within these hallowed walls – a timeless tribute to faith and artistry intertwined harmoniously throughout history.
