EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Tombstone of Cecilia Aprile, attributed to the renowned artist Francesco Laurana but more likely crafted in his workshop. Preserved with great care in the Regional Gallery of Sicily, Palermo, this tombstone is a true testament to the artistic brilliance of the Early Renaissance period. The photograph captures every intricate detail of this remarkable piece. The low relief design and bas-relief technique bring depth and dimension to Cecilia Aprile's portrait. Dressed in a stunning Renaissance-era costume, her attire reflects the fashion and clothing trends of that time. Lying peacefully on a pillow, Cecilia's posthumous presence is beautifully captured through this artwork. A rosary delicately placed by her side symbolizes her devotion and faith even after death. The coat of arms displayed prominently adds an air of nobility to her memory. Dating back to around 1495, this tombstone holds immense historical significance as it represents both early Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods prevalent in Europe during the first two millennia A. D. Its preservation for centuries has allowed us to appreciate its beauty today. Captured approximately in 1929, this photograph not only freezes a moment from history but also serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with art from different eras. Anderson's skillful photography brings out every nuance and texture present on this magnificent slab. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time – marveling at the craftsmanship that went into creating such an extraordinary masterpiece while pondering Cecilia Aprile's life story etched forever onto stone.
