EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a timeless masterpiece, "Announcing angels" a wooden statue attributed to Francesco di Valdambrino. Preserved in all its glory within the hallowed walls of Montepulciano Cathedral, this exquisite work of art transports us back to the Renaissance period. The craftsmanship evident in every delicate detail is awe-inspiring. The artist's skillful hands have brought life to these angelic figures, with their graceful poses and serene expressions. One cannot help but marvel at the intricate carvings that adorn their wings and garments, showcasing the mastery of Renaissance-Baroque styles. Dating back to the 15th century (XV sec), this artwork holds immense historical significance. It serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage during both the first and second millenniums A. D. , providing us with a glimpse into an era where religious devotion intertwined seamlessly with artistic expression. At its core, this sculpture represents one of Christianity's most pivotal moments – The Annunciation. With Archangel Gabriel on one side and an angelic figure on another, it symbolizes divine communication between heaven and earth. This subject matter has been explored extensively throughout European art history, making it an essential part of our collective visual narrative. Alinari Fratelli's masterful photography beautifully captures not just the physicality but also the spiritual essence emanating from this remarkable piece. Taken around 1963 ca. , his lens immortalizes this treasure for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Alinari Fratelli, we are transported through time and space into Montepulciano Cathedral itself. We can almost hear whispers echoing through its sacred halls as these announcing angels silently deliver their celestial message – a testament to human creativity entwined with faith that continues to inspire us today.
