EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite Tombstone of Angelo Acciaioli, a remarkable piece of art preserved in the Chapel of Tobias within the Church of Monks at the Carthusian Monastery of Galluzzo. The tombstone, dating back to approximately 1353, is attributed to Orcagna and his school. The image showcases intricate details carved into the slab, depicting various elements that were significant during the Middle Ages in Europe. A majestic lion stands proudly as an allegorical representation, symbolizing strength and power. The inscription on the tombstone serves as a form of communication from another era, evoking a sense of mystery and intrigue. In this print by Alinari Fratelli from around 1890, we can also observe Angelo Acciaioli himself depicted in medieval attire with elaborate clothing and accessories such as belts and gloves. His nobility is further emphasized by his sword resting beside him. The tombstone's shape takes on that of an animal - possibly a crest or emblem - adding to its unique charm. It bears witness to historical events and reflects upon municipal life during medieval times. Surrounded by Gothic architecture prevalent throughout Europe during this period, it exudes an aura reminiscent of social hierarchy and cultural heritage. The mantle cloak worn by Angelo Acciaioli signifies his noble status while serving as a type of coat-of-arms or heraldic ornament. This extraordinary artwork captured through photography allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also provides insight into medieval history subjects. Its preservation within this sacred space ensures that future generations can continue to marvel at its beauty while contemplating centuries gone by.
