EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the delicate bas-relief by Agostino di Duccio, featuring a mythological griffin set within a beautiful plant wreath. The low relief is an integral part of the sculptural decoration adorning the Oratory of San Bernardino in Perugia. Dating back to around 1457-1461, this exquisite artwork exemplifies the artistic prowess and attention to detail that Agostino di Duccio possessed. The mythical griffin, with its majestic wings and fierce countenance, emerges from ancient Greco-Roman mythology and literature. Its presence in this piece adds an element of fantasy and intrigue. The artist's mastery is evident in every intricately carved feather on the griffin's body and each meticulously crafted leaf within the wreath. This fusion of natural elements with mythical creatures creates a harmonious blend that captivates viewers even centuries later. Alinari has beautifully captured this timeless masterpiece through their expert photography skills. Their careful composition highlights every nuance of Agostino di Duccio's work, allowing us to appreciate its beauty up close. Dated around 1900, this print transports us back in time to witness firsthand the magnificence of Italian Renaissance artistry.
