EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite statue of St. John the Baptist, created by Silvestro dell'Aquila, from the Mausoleum of San Bernardino in the Church of San Bernardino in L'Aquila, Abruzzo. The statue stands as a testament to the High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that flourished throughout Europe during the first and second millenniums. Silvestro dell'Aquila's artistry is evident in every detail of this masterpiece. The intricate gesture depicted by St. John adds depth and emotion to his expression, while his flowing robes drape gracefully around him like a mantle cloak. His hairdo reflects the fashion and style popular during this era. The composition is further enhanced by various architectural elements surrounding St. John. A grotesque mask gazes down upon him from above, adding an element of mystery to the scene. Gargoyles perch on either side, their presence symbolizing protection against evil forces. Intriguingly placed at St. John's feet is a vase filled with briers and other vegetal elements, representing both nature's beauty and its potential for thorns or challenges along life's path. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this timeless artwork through their lens between 1920-1930 ca. , showcasing its enduring appeal even centuries after it was originally crafted between 1496-1505. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back to a time when religious devotion was intertwined with artistic excellence. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and connect us with our rich cultural heritage.
