EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of art, the sepulchral monument to Bishop Pietro Gormaz, created by the school of Andrea Bregno. Housed in the chapel of Consolation, also known as Coretto, within Narni Cathedral, this funerary monument is an exquisite example of Early Renaissance craftsmanship. Dating back to around 1514, this masterpiece showcases the fusion of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles that were prevalent during that era. The intricate details and architectural elements demonstrate the skillful execution by Bregno's school. The photo provides a glimpse into Europe's rich artistic heritage from both the first and second millenniums. It was captured approximately in 1890 when photography was still in its early stages. In this artwork, we see various religious figures depicted with great precision. The Virgin Mary stands gracefully alongside an angel while holding baby Jesus - a representation symbolizing life itself. The bishop himself is portrayed wearing traditional ecclesiastical garments and adorned with a headdress befitting his status. The presence of Saint Paul and Saint Peter further emphasizes the Christian religious context surrounding this sepulchral monument. A pastoral staff serves as an instrument or object denoting his role within the clergy. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes evident that every aspect has been meticulously crafted to convey not only physical attributes but also psychological aspects associated with death and age. Overall, Alinari Fratelli's photographic print allows us to appreciate Andrea Bregno's artistic legacy through capturing such a significant work in Narni Cathedral. This image transports us back centuries ago when European society embraced these masterpieces as expressions of faith and cultural identity during times marked by profound changes in art history.
