EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the sculpted lunette of the right door at the Cathedral of Como, depicting the scene of the Presentation of Jesus to the Temple. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship captured in this artwork transport us back to a time when High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles flourished in Europe. Created by renowned artists Tommaso and Giacomo Rodari between 1491 and 1519, this remarkable sculpture is a testament to their talent and devotion. The column, building elements, decorations, and sections surrounding the lunette add depth and grandeur to its overall composition. At its center stands Mary, tenderly holding baby Jesus - an iconic representation known as Madonna and Child. This portrayal reflects both religious significance as well as artistic excellence that was prevalent during this period. The theme revolves around the life and representations of Virgin Mary with her son. The scene itself depicts Jesus being presented at the temple according to biblical accounts found in New Testament's Gospel of Luke. It symbolizes an important moment in Christian tradition where Jesus is consecrated before God. The fusion of High Renaissance aesthetics with Baroque influences can be observed through various stylistic choices made by Rodari brothers. Their attention to detail brings out a sense of realism while maintaining an ethereal quality associated with religious art. This photograph was taken around 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli who skillfully captures every nuance present within this magnificent work. Its historical value lies not only in showcasing a significant piece from First Millennium A. D. , but also highlighting how art evolves across different periods throughout history.
