EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Tombstone of Lorenzo Acciaioli, a remarkable piece of art preserved in the Chapel of Tobias within the Church of Monks at the Carthusian Monastery of Galluzzo. The photograph, taken around 1890 by Alinari, Fratelli, captures the essence and beauty of this Gothic masterpiece that dates back to approximately 1353. The artwork itself is attributed to Orcagna and his school, representing a significant period in European history during the Middle Ages. It depicts various elements such as lions, inscriptions, armor, and swords that symbolize different aspects like power, nobility, and military prowess. The intricate details on this tombstone tell stories about medieval municipalities and their rich history. One cannot help but be drawn to the abstract concepts conveyed through allegorical representations found on this slab. The presence of crests and emblems adds a touch of heraldic ornamentation while also highlighting social status. Additionally, one can observe a fascinating representation in the form of an animal-shaped shield or brand adorning Lorenzo Acciaioli's attire. This unique feature serves as both a fashion statement and a symbol associated with his noble lineage. The mantle cloak worn by Lorenzo further enhances his regal appearance while showcasing medieval fashion trends prevalent during that era. A glove accessory completes his ensemble with elegance. Overall, this print not only captures an exquisite work of art but also provides valuable insights into Europe's first and second millennium AD history. Its preservation within such an esteemed monastery speaks volumes about its cultural significance for generations to come.
