EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite elegance of the portal of the Cathedral of Como, adorned with intricate artwork that spans multiple styles and periods. The focal point is undoubtedly the Flight to Egypt depicted in the lunette, a scene from the life of Christ where Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus escape to Egypt to avoid King Herod's wrath. This powerful biblical narrative is beautifully portrayed, showcasing not only artistic skill but also religious devotion. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to the arch above which showcases Theological Virtues - faith, hope, and charity - symbolizing abstract concepts crucial for spiritual enlightenment. On either side of this arch stand statues of saints on piers; their presence adds an air of sanctity and reverence to this sacred space. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Tommaso Rodari and Giacomo Rodari who collaborated on creating this stunning work between 1491-1509 during Europe's Renaissance period. Their attention to detail can be seen in every aspect: from the meticulously carved sculptures representing terrestrial mammals and vertebrates to the delicate vegetal elements that surround them. This photograph was taken around 1900 by Brogi from Alinari. It serves as a testament not only to its timelessness but also as a reminder of how art has transcended centuries while still evoking awe-inspiring emotions within us today. In summary, this print encapsulates an extraordinary blend of early Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods found within Europe's rich cultural history. Its subject matter delves into profound themes such as virtue, allegory, Christian religion while showcasing remarkable craftsmanship through sculpture and vegetation compositions.
