EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a young St. Benedict, immortalized in marble by the skilled hands of Antonio Raggi. The statue is nestled within the enchanting grotto known as "Sacro Speco" or Sacred Cave, located inside the Monastery of St. Benedict in Subiaco's environs. The delicate details of this Baroque masterpiece are brought to life through the lens of Alinari's camera, transporting us back to a time when this revered saint walked among us. Dressed in his religious habit, St. Benedict stands with an air of serenity and devotion that emanates from his visage. His fashionably styled hairdo adds a touch of elegance to his appearance, while also reflecting the trends prevalent during the Renaissance-Baroque period in Europe. This timeless artwork serves as a testament to both Raggi's artistic prowess and St. Benedict's enduring influence on Christian religion. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we cannot help but be drawn into its spiritual aura. It evokes feelings of reverence and contemplation, reminding us of the profound impact that prayer and Catholicism have had throughout history. The small basket placed at St. Benedict's feet hints at an object significant to his story or perhaps symbolizes humility—a virtue he embodied throughout his life as a monk and clergyman. Dating back to around 1657, this photograph taken by Brogi transports us back over three centuries ago—an era where baroque art flourished across Europe during both first and second millennium A. D. . Its historical significance is further highlighted by its approximate date—1890—a time when photography was still emerging as an art form itself. In capturing Young St. Benedict with such precision and gracefulness, Alinari has preserved not only Raggi's masterpiece but also our connection to one man whose faith continues to inspire countless generations even today.
