EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a close-up of the spirits in Donatello's pulpit, located in the magnificent Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence. The artwork, known as "Descent into Limbo" showcases the incredible talent and artistic vision of Donato di Niccol di Betto Bardi, famously known as Donatello. In this particular shot, our attention is drawn to a small scared demon amidst a sea of ethereal spirits. The intricate details carved into the low relief sculpture are brought to life through Alinari's lens, allowing us to appreciate every delicate feature and expression on each figure. The pulpit itself is an exemplary representation of Early Renaissance artistry. Created between 1460 and 1466, it seamlessly combines elements from both Renaissance and Baroque styles. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic beauty but also in its theological subject matter – depicting scenes from the life of Christ.
