EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a Bas relief tile portraying Europe, proudly displayed on the wall of the baptismal font in the Penne Cathedral. The artwork itself dates back to the XVI century, showcasing elements of both Renaissance and Baroque styles and periods. The focal point of this bas relief is a female figure, representing Europe herself. This personification embodies an allegory that symbolizes the abstract concept of Europe as a terrestrial entity. Surrounding her are various mammals, vertebrates, and animals, including horses - all representative of the diverse fauna found across this continent. The craftsmanship and attention to detail evident in this bas relief highlight the artistic excellence prevalent during its creation in the first and second millenniums A. D. Each intricate feature has been meticulously carved into stone by skilled hands to bring forth a sense of realism and beauty. Alinari Fratelli's photograph from 1929 perfectly captures not only the artistry but also showcases how it harmoniously blends with its surroundings within Penne Cathedral. The play between light and shadow adds depth to each element depicted on this tile. As we admire this print today, we can appreciate how it serves as a testament to European history, culture, and heritage. It reminds us of our shared past while celebrating our diversity as well. Let us cherish these timeless artworks that continue to inspire awe even after centuries have passed since their creation.
