EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of art, a bas-relief tondo with the profile of none other than Alexander the Great. The exquisite detail is found on the façade of the Carthusian monastery of Pavia, also known as Certosa di Pavia. This low relief masterpiece represents the harmonious blend of High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Dating back to around the 16th century, this artwork holds immense historical significance. It offers us a glimpse into Europe's rich past during both the First and Second Millennium A. D. , specifically highlighting ancient populations and their connection to Roman history. As we observe this print captured in approximately 1890, we are transported back in time to an era when empires were forged and legends like Alexander ruled. The subject himself is portrayed wearing a military helmet while donning a civilian headdress beneath it. His regal appearance exudes power and authority befitting an emperor who left an indelible mark on history. The attention to detail extends beyond his attire; every line etched onto his face tells its own story. In addition to its historical significance, this photograph also highlights elements of fashion and clothing prevalent during that period. The mantle cloak draped over Alexander's shoulders adds elegance to his already majestic presence. Brogi skillfully captures this extraordinary artwork in all its glory without compromising any details or nuances. Through this print from Alinari, we can appreciate not only the artistic mastery but also gain insight into European culture during one of its most transformative periods – where high renaissance met renaissance-baroque influences.
