EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate detail of "The Cross of the Treasure of Saint John, verso" from the 15th century. Located in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Florence, Italy, this Renaissance masterpiece is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of Italian goldsmiths. Commissioned between 1457 and 1459 by Betto di Francesco Betti, Antonio del Pollaiolo, and Miliano di Domenico Dei, this cross was created to complete a silver altar. Made from sculpted silver foil and adorned with enamel work, it is truly a splendid example of jewelry artistry during that era. The photo focuses on a specific detail: St. John the Evangelist and an eagle. The figure of St. John is beautifully rendered with lifelike features while holding onto an elegant staff. The eagle perched beside him adds symbolism as it represents his role as one of the four evangelists. Not only does this image capture religious iconography but also provides insight into historical techniques used by goldsmiths during that time period. It serves as a reminder of Florence's rich artistic heritage and its contribution to Renaissance art. Ghigo Roli's expert photography allows us to appreciate every delicate line and exquisite brushstroke present on this remarkable piece. This print would make for an excellent addition to any art enthusiast's collection or serve as inspiration for those interested in exploring medieval craftsmanship further.
