EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite sculpture of "St. Lawrence undressing" by Giacomo Serpotta, located in the Oratorio di San Lorenzo in Palermo, Italy. The artwork itself was created between 1698 and 1710 during the Renaissance-Baroque period, showcasing Serpotta's mastery of both styles. In this image taken around 1915-1920, we see a close-up of St. Lawrence as he gracefully removes his cloak while standing on a horse. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element depicted - from the intricate architectural arches and decorative building elements to the beautifully carved acanthus leaves adorning the scene. The composition is further enhanced by a dramatic cloud-filled sky, adding an atmospheric touch to this religious tableau. St. Lawrence himself is portrayed with great dignity and strength, his gesture conveying deep emotion and devotion. Serpotta's skillful craftsmanship brings life to this ancient figure from Christian literature and fiction. Dressed in elaborate Renaissance-era clothing with a mantle draped over his shoulder, St. Lawrence stands as a symbol of faith and martyrdom. The print itself was captured by Alinari Fratelli, renowned for their expertise in capturing artistic masterpieces through photography without commercial intent or mention. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty of European artistry spanning centuries - from Baroque influences to Renaissance aesthetics - all encapsulated within one remarkable sculpture that continues to inspire awe today.
