EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a wooden chorus adorned with intarsia in the Todi Cathedral. The intricate details and artistic finesse displayed in this masterpiece are truly awe-inspiring. Dating back to the High Renaissance period, specifically around 1530, this remarkable artwork was created by two talented artists: Bencivenni and Sebastiano da Mercatello. Their collaboration resulted in a harmonious blend of styles, combining elements from both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque periods. The chorus itself is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the first and second millenniums A. D. Its ornate design reflects the opulence and grandeur that were characteristic of this era. The technique employed here, known as intarsia, involves intricately carving pieces of wood and fitting them together like puzzle pieces to create stunning patterns or pictures. This meticulous process requires immense skill and precision, which is evident in every inch of this wooden chorus. Captured around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also serves as a historical record for future generations. It transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into an era where master craftsmen dedicated their lives to creating such magnificent works. Whether viewed as furniture or decorative ornamentation, this wooden chorus stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today just as it did centuries ago when it was first crafted.
