EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning capital in the cloister of Saint Oliva's Church in Cori. The focal point of this intricate artwork is the depiction of the Virgin Mary, gracefully positioned between two mesmerizing spiral curves. Created during the Early Renaissance period, this capital showcases a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The craftsmanship exhibited in this piece is truly remarkable. Every detail, from the delicate folds of Mary's veil to her regal headdress, reflects both civilian and military influences that were prevalent during that era. This religious sculpture serves as an exquisite accessory to the church's architecture, adding a touch of elegance and spirituality to its surroundings. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. , when such masterpieces adorned churches across the continent. The date of this particular artwork can be traced back to 1480, making it an invaluable relic from history. The scene depicted here evokes a sense of prayerful devotion within Catholicism. It reminds us of Christian religious practices rooted deeply in faith and reverence for figures like Mary. The presence of a rosary further emphasizes these spiritual undertones. Brogi skillfully captured not only the beauty but also the significance behind this work through his lens around 1915-1920. His photograph allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical context without mentioning any commercial use associated with Alinari or any other company. In conclusion, this photograph immortalizes an extraordinary capital featuring the Virgin Mary amidst two enchanting spiral curves within Saint Oliva's Church cloister in Cori. Its early Renaissance style transports us back centuries ago while reminding us of Europe's rich cultural heritage and deep-rooted religious traditions.
