EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning detail of the carved wooden altarpiece by the workshop of Giovan Angelo del Maino, located in the magnificent Cathedral of Como. The focal point is a statue depicting St. Abbondio, flanked by two episodes from his life. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly remarkable, showcasing the intricate talent of Del Maino and his workshop during the Renaissance period. The attention to detail can be seen in every element - from the delicate folds of St. Abbondio's clothing to the ornate jewelry adorning him. St. Abbondio stands tall with a pastoral staff in hand, symbolizing his role as a bishop within the Christian religion. His regal attire reflects both civilian and religious fashion trends of that time, with an elaborate headdress adding to his dignified presence. Surrounded by architectural elements such as arches and columns, this scene exudes grandeur and reverence. The open gallery above adds depth to the composition while allowing glimpses into lush vegetation outside – reminding us that even amidst spiritual devotion, nature remains intertwined with human existence. The photograph was taken between 1915-1920 but showcases an artwork created around 1500-1510 AD. , bridging centuries together through its timeless beauty. This fusion of Renaissance-Baroque styles further enhances its historical significance within European art history. Brogi's lens skillfully captures not only this masterpiece but also highlights various aspects like baldachin furnishings for sacred spaces and decorative ceiling details surrounding it. In summary, this photograph immortalizes an exquisite moment frozen in time – where artistry meets spirituality within Como Cathedral's hallowed walls. It serves as a testament to human creativity across generations while celebrating St. Abbondio’s enduring legacy within Catholicism
