EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of St. Romulus, a polychrome terra cotta masterpiece created by the renowned artist Giovanni della Robbia. Perched above the middle door of the Cathedral of Fiesole, this exquisite artwork represents a harmonious blend of High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The photograph, captured between 1920-1930, perfectly captures the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating this religious icon. The statue's gesture exudes an air of serenity and devotion while holding an instrument symbolizing communication with divinity. St. Romulus stands tall in his flowing cope, adorned with elaborate patterns that reflect both fashion trends and religious symbolism from centuries past. His headdress adds to his regal appearance, evoking a sense of authority befitting a saintly figure. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and grandeur that defined Europe during its First and Second Millennium A. D.

This print serves not only as a visual delight but also as a window into history; it invites us to explore the rich cultural heritage embodied within European art movements such as High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. In conclusion, Alinari Fratelli's photograph immortalizes Della Robbia's Statue of St. Romulus for generations to come – reminding us all of the profound impact art can have on our lives by bridging gaps between different eras while celebrating human creativity across time.
