EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail from the Blessed Agostino Novello Altarpiece, created in 1324 by the talented artist Simone Martini. The lower left scene of this altarpiece depicts a heart-wrenching moment: a Child Falling from a Balcony. This particular section can be found in the esteemed collection of the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Siena. The image captures an intense and chaotic atmosphere, as onlookers are frozen with shock and disbelief at witnessing such an accident. The vibrant red color scheme adds to the sense of urgency and danger that permeates the scene. In true Gothic style, Martini masterfully portrays emotions through his subjects' expressions - their helplessness is palpable. Amidst the crowd, we see a distressed mother desperately reaching out towards her fallen child, while other women express anguish and concern for both mother and child. The architectural features surrounding them hint at an Italian town setting during the 14th century. This powerful photograph transports us back in time to witness this tragic incident unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture not only moments of beauty but also those that evoke deep empathy within us all.
