EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of a bust depicting Saint Athanasius, created by the talented artist Cristiano Monterossi. The artwork is housed in the Cappella di San Gennaro, nestled within the grandeur of Naples Cathedral. The bust portrays Saint Athanasius with remarkable detail and precision, showcasing his dignified presence and devout spirituality. Dressed in religious garments adorned with a brooch, he exudes an aura of solemnity and reverence. His pastoral staff rests gently against his side, symbolizing his role as a shepherd guiding his flock. Monterossi's mastery shines through in this stunning piece that seamlessly blends Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The sculpture stands as a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage during the first and second millenniums A. D. , evoking a sense of awe-inspiring history. Captured sometime between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, this photograph immortalizes both Monterossi's masterpiece and its placement within the cathedral's sacred walls. It invites viewers to appreciate not only the artistry but also the profound spiritual significance it holds for those who visit this holy place. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to XVII century Italy when Monterossi crafted this extraordinary work of devotion. It serves as a reminder of how art has long been intertwined with religion – offering solace, inspiration, and connection to something greater than ourselves. Intriguingly captured by Alinari Fratelli's lens, this print allows us to admire every intricate detail while contemplating our own faith journey amidst the timeless beauty found within Naples Cathedral’s Cappella di San Gennaro.
