EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of history, a wooden chest adorned with exquisite stucco decorations. Housed in the esteemed Collection of Count Segr Sartorio in Trieste, this magnificent artifact takes us back to the Middle Ages in Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. The craftsmanship displayed on this Trieste Casket is truly awe-inspiring. Created during the XVI century, it is a testament to the skill and artistry of its time. The intricate plasterwork delicately covers every inch of the chest's surface, forming fanciful animal motifs that seem to come alive before our eyes. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork captured by Alinari, Fratelli between 1920 and 1930, we are transported into an era where literature and fiction intertwined with everyday life. The vegetal elements and compositions depicted on this chest evoke images of lush vegetation and leaves that symbolize growth and abundance. It is fascinating to imagine how such a treasure would have been used during medieval times - perhaps storing precious manuscripts or valuable possessions belonging to nobility or clergy. This wooden chest not only serves as an object of applied arts and crafts but also holds within it countless stories waiting to be discovered. Alinari's expert photography allows us to appreciate every detail of this historical masterpiece from afar while igniting our curiosity about its origins and significance. As we contemplate its beauty through time's lens, let us marvel at the ingenuity behind its creation while acknowledging its enduring legacy as an emblematic representation of European heritage throughout centuries past.
