EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of the Tombstone of the families Anguillara and Orsini, located in the historic Church of S. Francesco a Ripa in Rome. Taken around 1890, this image showcases an exquisite piece of artwork from the XIV century. The tombstone itself is adorned with intricate details that reflect both military and civilian life during the Middle Ages in Europe. The presence of a sword, arms, armor, and other military equipment suggests a connection to armed forces and military life. The male figure depicted wears fashionable clothing and a hat or headdress commonly worn by civilians or religious figures at that time. The portrait on this tombstone is believed to represent one or more famous persons from history whose identities have been lost over time. It serves as a poignant reminder of their existence while also showcasing skilled sculpting work. A pillow placed beneath the portrait adds an element of comfort amidst its solemn surroundings. A crest or emblem can be seen prominently displayed on top, symbolizing lineage or family heritage. The shield-like shape carved into this remarkable slab evokes medieval symbolism associated with coats of arms or heraldic ornaments prevalent during that era. Wrapped in a mantle cloak reminiscent of fashion trends from centuries ago, this tombstone stands as an enduring testament to lives lived long ago. Its historical significance spans across multiple millennia - from the first to second millennium A. D. , making it truly remarkable. Captured by Anderson for Alinari's collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also offers us glimpses into our rich cultural heritage without mentioning any commercial use associated with it.
