EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of art that has stood the test of time. The print showcases a high-relief sculpture of St. George, which for many years was attributed to the renowned artist Mino da Fiesole. The artwork is housed in the sacristy of the historic church of St. Maria Maggiore in Rome, adding to its significance and grandeur. The basilica itself is an architectural marvel, representing various styles and periods including Early Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque, and Europe's rich artistic heritage from the first and second millenniums. Taken around 1890, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the intricate details present in this masterpiece. It depicts St. George clad in armor with his trusty lance or spear by his side, symbolizing his role as a valiant warrior defending against evil forces. A delightful addition to this composition is a putto figure positioned near St. George, adding an element of charm and gracefulness to the scene. This portrayal brings together elements from literature and fiction while embodying male strength within Christian religious iconography. As we delve into history through this image captured by Anderson from Alinari, we are transported back to XV century Rome where artists like Mino da Fiesole left their indelible mark on society through their sculptures. This print serves as a testament not only to Mino da Fiesole's talent but also highlights how art can transcend time and continue inspiring generations long after its creation.
