EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite bust of Bishop Jacopo Guidi, resting peacefully in his tomb within the hallowed walls of the Church of San Francesco in Volterra. The image transports us back to a time when late Renaissance art flourished, showcasing its intricate details and profound beauty. The bust itself is a remarkable example of artistic craftsmanship from the late 16th century. Created by Palma, Felice, an esteemed artist of that era, it embodies the fusion of Renaissance and Baroque styles with its delicate features and ornate embellishments. As we gaze upon this masterpiece frozen in time, we are reminded of Europe's rich cultural heritage during the first and second millennium A. D. Bishop Jacopo Guidi's portrait exudes an air of wisdom and authority befitting his role as a clergyman within the Christian religion. Clad in a magnificent mantle cloak characteristic of Renaissance fashion, he commands respect even beyond his earthly existence. Photographed around 1920-1930 by Brogi for Alinari, this print not only serves as a testament to their exceptional skill but also preserves an important piece of history for future generations to admire. It allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind creating such masterpieces as well as their significance in religious iconography.
