EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "SEA-S-CZ1995-0005" transports us to a moment of profound spirituality and wonder. The image captures a delicate detail from the crèche of colored wax, meticulously crafted by the Neopolitan artist Caterina de Julianis. Housed within a wooden cabinet in the Church of the Immacolata in Catanzaro, this artwork is truly a testament to human creativity and devotion. At its heart, this photograph showcases an intimate scene from the Nativity story - the birth of Jesus Christ. In this particular frame, our attention is drawn to Mary and Joseph as they lovingly gaze upon their newborn son. The tenderness with which they hold him is palpable through George Tatge's lens. Surrounding them are various figures that make up this sacred tableau: an angel hovers above, radiating celestial light; shepherds kneel in adoration; and even animals find their place within this holy narrative. A donkey stands nearby, symbolizing humility and loyalty. The setting itself adds depth to the composition – a grotto stall where Jesus was born according to tradition. This humble structure becomes more than just a physical space; it represents hope for humanity's redemption. Tatge's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only each individual element but also how they harmoniously come together to convey deep spiritual significance. Through his lens, we witness not just an artistic masterpiece but also an embodiment of faith and reverence. As we contemplate this print by Alinari, let us be reminded of the timeless power that religious art holds – transcending time and connecting generations through shared beliefs.
