EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the central detail of a magnificent marble altarpiece carved by Riccomanni. The altarpiece is located on the high altar in the Pieve of San Pantaleone, nestled in the charming village of Elici near Pietrasanta, Versilia. This masterpiece reflects both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods, representing Europe's artistic heritage from the first and second millenniums A. D. The photograph was taken around 1920-1930, capturing every intricate detail of this XV-century artwork. Riccomanni, a renowned artist from the Riccomanni family, poured his talent into creating this stunning piece that now graces the Pieve of San Pantaleone. In this image, we are drawn to a gesture captured within the sculpture—an instrument used as a means of communication between two figures. The subject comes alive through their representation: an angelic figure adorned with headdress and civilian attire stands alongside a saintly figure dressed in military garb. Surrounding them are various elements symbolizing religious devotion—a depiction of Virgin Mary holding Jesus Christ as a child; scenes from St. John the Baptist's life; mantles and cloaks draped gracefully over shoulders; acanthus plants adding lushness to the composition; thrones conveying regality; objects hinting at biblical references; animal skins evoking ancient traditions. Brogi's photography expertise beautifully captures all these details while preserving their essence for generations to come. This print serves as an invitation to explore not only art but also literature and fiction inspired by such masterpieces. Let us immerse ourselves in this visual journey through time—where history intertwines with spirituality—and appreciate how art has transcended centuries to touch our souls today.
