EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite bronze work of St. Anthony, a masterpiece created by Fra' Domenico Portigiani in the late Renaissance period. Preserved within the sacred walls of the Church of S. Marco in Florence, this statue stands as a testament to both artistic brilliance and religious devotion. The image showcases St. Anthony adorned in his resplendent attire, reflecting the fashion and clothing styles prevalent during the Renaissance era. His flowing robes drape gracefully around him, while his headdress - a tiara miter - adds an air of regality to his presence. As one gazes upon this remarkable artwork frozen in time, it is impossible not to be captivated by its intricate details and impeccable craftsmanship. The artist's skillful hands have brought forth every delicate feature with such precision that even after centuries, it continues to inspire awe. St. Anthony himself emerges from this bronze sculpture as a figure of great importance within Christian religion; his saintly aura radiates through his serene expression and gentle posture. The photograph was taken around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli, capturing not only the beauty of Portigiani's creation but also providing us with a glimpse into history itself. It serves as a bridge between two distinct periods - the late Renaissance when this artwork was crafted (between 1581-1587) and Europe during the first millennium A. D. , where it found its home. In essence, this print encapsulates artistry spanning across different styles and periods: from Late Renaissance to Renaissance-Baroque influences that shaped Europe throughout history. It invites viewers on an enchanting journey through time while celebrating both cultural heritage and spiritual significance embodied by St. Anthony's divine presence within Florence's Church of S. Marco.
