EDITORS COMMENTS
State of St. Veronica: A Glimpse into the Astonishing World of Ancient Rome". This print captures the State of St. Veronica, a magnificent sculpture crafted by Francesco Mochi in 1632. Preserved within the grand Basilica of San Pietro in Rome, this masterpiece stands as a testament to both Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles that defined Europe during the first and second millenniums. The photograph itself dates back to around 1890, offering us a rare glimpse into an era long gone. It showcases not only Mochi's artistic brilliance but also highlights various aspects of human psychology and behavior through its depiction of astonishment and surprise. Veronica, one among many important women from ancient times, is portrayed here with intricate attention to detail - her costume, clothing, hairdo all meticulously captured. As a female saint deeply rooted in Christian religion, she holds an instrument or object closely associated with her name - the holy shroud. This particular artwork evokes curiosity about individual physiological and psychological aspects prevalent during that period. The inscription on the base adds another layer of intrigue as it hints at biblical references from the New Testament. As we delve deeper into this image frozen in time by Anderson from Alinari (not affiliated with any commercial use), we are transported back centuries ago when fashion intertwined with faith and artistry flourished across Europe. In contemplating this remarkable sculpture preserved within such hallowed walls, we are reminded once again that history has much to teach us about our shared humanity – our beliefs, emotions, and timeless quest for meaning.
