EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the Middle Ages, where we find ourselves immersed in the presence of three acolytes. The sculptural group, skillfully crafted from marble by Arnolfo di Cambio between 1264 and 1302, is a remarkable piece that once belonged to the Ark of San Domenico. Displayed within the hallowed halls of Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence's National Museum of Bargello, this Gothic masterpiece evokes a sense of awe and reverence. The Chapel of Mary Magdalene serves as its sanctuary, providing an ethereal backdrop for these sacred figures. Dressed in traditional attire befitting their role as clergy members, these acolytes stand with poise and grace. Their garments reflect the fashion and clothing styles prevalent during the Middle Ages, offering a glimpse into an era long gone but not forgotten. As we gaze upon this photograph taken between 1903-1910 by Alinari, we are reminded of Europe's rich history spanning over two millennia. It is through art like this that we can connect with our ancestors' religious devotion and appreciate their artistic achievements. Arnolfo di Cambio's meticulous craftsmanship shines through every intricate detail captured by Alinari's lens. From the delicate folds in their robes to their serene expressions, each element contributes to the overall beauty and significance of this sculptural group. Let us take a moment to honor these acolytes who faithfully served within medieval churches. May they continue to inspire generations with their timeless elegance and unwavering dedication to Christian religion.
