EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of the bronze candelabrum, a masterpiece created by Andrea Briosco, also known as Riccio. The candelabrum is located in the Basilica of S. Antonio in Padua, Italy. Dating back to the High Renaissance period between 1507 and 1515, this artwork showcases Briosco's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The intricate design features various elements that represent different styles and periods including Renaissance-Baroque and Greco-Roman influences. In this particular section of the candelabrum, we see a female figure depicted in an allegorical manner. She stands tall with grace and elegance, symbolizing a minor divinity or perhaps an abstract concept. Surrounding her are hybrid figures such as sphinxes and griffins - mythical creatures from ancient mythology. The scene also incorporates Christian religious symbolism alongside vegetal elements like festoons, showcasing the fusion of both secular and sacred themes within Renaissance art. Captured around 1900 by Alinari Fratelli, this photograph not only preserves the beauty of Briosco's creation but also provides us with a glimpse into European art history spanning over two millennia. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of artists like Andrea Briosco who pushed boundaries during their time. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply appreciate historical masterpieces, this print offers a window into one of Italy's most renowned basilicas while celebrating the artistic brilliance that defined Europe's first millennium onwards.
