EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent "Day and Night" monument to Giuliano de'Medici Duca di Nemours, located in the New Sacristy of The Medicean Chapels within the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence. This awe-inspiring artwork is a testament to the genius of Buonarroti Michelangelo, one of history's most renowned artists. The photograph, taken around 1890, beautifully captures the intricate details and grandeur of this High Renaissance masterpiece. Created between 1520 and 1524, it exemplifies both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that flourished throughout Europe during the first and second millenniums A. D. In this image, we are presented with two distinct figures representing day and night. The allegorical concept is skillfully expressed through their symbolic attributes. Day appears as a male figure adorned in armor, symbolizing strength and vitality. In contrast, Night takes on a female form with flowing drapery that represents tranquility and restfulness. The attention to detail is remarkable; every muscle tone on these nude human bodies has been meticulously sculpted by Michelangelo's masterful hands. Their poses exude gracefulness while showcasing his profound understanding of anatomy. As we gaze upon this photograph print by Alinari Fratelli, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the brilliance of Michelangelo's artistic vision. It serves as a reminder not only of his immense talent but also his significant contributions to art history. Whether you appreciate Renaissance art or simply admire exceptional craftsmanship, this print offers an opportunity to marvel at an extraordinary piece from one of Italy's most celebrated artists – Buonarroti Michelangelo
