EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing scene from the pulpit in the Cathedral of Pisa. The artwork depicted is "Adoration of the shepherds" by renowned artist Giovanni Pisano, dating back to the early 14th century. In this intricate relief sculpture, we witness a momentous event from biblical times. The central figures are Mary and Joseph, tenderly cradling baby Jesus in their arms. Surrounding them are shepherds who have come to pay homage to the divine child. Their expressions convey awe and reverence as they bow before him. The composition is enriched with various other important characters, including the Magi - wise men bearing gifts for the newborn king. An angel hovers above, bathed in celestial light, symbolizing heavenly intervention in this miraculous birth. Giovanni Pisano's craftsmanship shines through every detail of this masterpiece. From delicate facial expressions to flowing robes and intricate drapery folds, his skill brings life and depth to each figure portrayed. The photograph itself was taken between 1920-1930 by Brogi from Alinari studios. It beautifully captures not only Pisano's art but also highlights its Gothic style that flourished during Europe's Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this image today, we can appreciate both its historical significance and artistic excellence. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage while evoking a sense of wonder at the timeless story it depicts – an adoration that has captivated hearts for centuries.
