EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing capital with intricate acanthus leaf decoration, found within the serene cloister of Saint Oliva's Church in Cori. The exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this early Renaissance artwork, which seamlessly combines elements from both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Dating back to around 1480, this remarkable sculpture stands as a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Europe during the first and second millenniums A. D. Its timeless beauty has been captured by Brogi's lens between 1915-20, preserving its splendor for generations to come. The acanthus leaves adorning the capital symbolize an herbaceous plant that holds great significance in art history. This vegetal element or composition is often associated with rebirth and renewal, reflecting the spirit of the Renaissance era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in the grandeur of European artistry. The delicate curves and intricate patterns invite us to appreciate every fine detail meticulously carved into stone. Saint Oliva's Church itself serves as a sanctuary for those seeking solace amidst its peaceful cloister. Stepping foot into this sacred space evokes a sense of tranquility and reverence for centuries-old architectural marvels like this magnificent capital. Brogi's masterful photography captures not only the physicality but also the essence of this extraordinary artwork. Through his lens, he invites us on a visual journey through time – reminding us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, art continues to inspire awe and admiration across generations.
