EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Cross of the Treasure of Saint John, verso, detail" from the 15th century Italian School. Housed in the Museo dell'Opera del Duomo in Florence, Tuscany, Italy, this exquisite piece of Renaissance jewelry is a true masterpiece. Crafted between 1457 and 1459 by renowned goldsmiths Betto di Francesco Betti, Antonio del Pollaiolo, and Miliano di Domenico Dei, this silver foil cross was commissioned to complete an altar. The level of craftsmanship is evident in every intricate detail. In this particular detail captured by photographer Ghigo Roli, we see St. Mark the Evangelist accompanied by a majestic lion. The symbolism behind these figures adds depth to the overall composition. The cross-monstrance consists of three main parts: the Crucifix at its center representing Christ's sacrifice for humanity; the stem connecting it to the base; and finally, this stunningly detailed verso depicting St. Mark and his animal companion. With its chiseled engravings and vibrant enamel work, this cross exemplifies both religious devotion and artistic excellence. It serves as a testament to the skillful artisans who dedicated their talents to creating such awe-inspiring works during the Renaissance period. As you gaze upon this photograph print capturing centuries-old artistry preserved within Florence's cathedral museum walls, you can't help but be transported back in time to an era where faith intertwined with creativity flourished like never before.
