EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of the bas-relief with the representation of autumn and winter, positioned in the archivolt of the main door of the parish church of Santa Maria in Arezzo. Dating back to the XIII century, this high relief from the Middle Ages showcases Europe's rich artistic heritage. The image focuses on two distinct allegorical figures that personify these seasons. In an abstract concept and symbol, autumn is depicted as a time of abundance and harvest. A pig, representing terrestrial mammals, stands prominently amidst lush vegetation filled with greens, vegetables, plants, and legumes. This portrayal reflects both medieval period fashion and clothing worn during this era. Winter takes center stage beside autumn as another allegory embodied by a figure adorned in traditional attire. The cold season is represented through its barren landscape where only skeletal trees remain standing against a desolate backdrop. Photographed around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli - renowned for their documentation of historical artworks - this print offers us a glimpse into European artistry spanning over a millennium. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while also providing insight into cultural practices prevalent during those times. As we admire this intricate bas-relief detail captured by Alinari Fratelli's lens, we are transported back to an era when art was not just decorative but also served as visual storytelling conveying complex ideas about nature's cycles and our place within it.
