EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library takes us back in time to the bustling streets of medieval Florence in the year 1408. The image showcases a remarkable bas relief, offering a glimpse into the world of skilled medieval stone masons and their intricate craftsmanship. In this scene, four dedicated craftsmen are diligently working on various projects. Starting from the left, we witness a mason meticulously building a sturdy wall, laying each stone with precision and care. Beside him stands another craftsman, holding a drill as he works on shaping an elegant column. Moving along, our attention is drawn to the third mason who skillfully utilizes a compass and square to construct an ornate capital - showcasing both mathematical prowess and artistic finesse. Finally, at the far right of the relief, we find an artistically inclined sculptor chiseling away at a putti using his trusty mattock. The photograph not only captures these talented individuals engrossed in their work but also provides valuable insights into medieval construction techniques and tools used during that era. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and dedication throughout history. As we admire this historical masterpiece by Nanno de Banco within Orsanmichele's walls, it reminds us of how far technology has advanced over centuries while honoring those who laid its foundations brick by brick through their unwavering commitment to their craft.
