EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-A-004673-0090" transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Verona. The focal point of this image is the majestic equestrian statue of Cangrande I della Scala, a prominent historical figure from the 14th century. Once proudly displayed in the Piazzaletto delle Arche, this remarkable masterpiece now finds its home within the walls of the Civic Museum of Castelvecchio. The photograph was taken during the early 20th century, around 1920-1930. Its timeless quality allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing such a momentous sculpture and its enduring significance throughout history. The artist responsible for crafting this awe-inspiring statue is none other than Master of Santa Anastasia, whose exceptional talent shines through every intricate detail. As we gaze upon this striking image, our eyes are drawn to Cangrande I della Scala mounted on his noble steed. Clad in knightly armor and exuding an air of authority and strength, he embodies chivalry and bravery that were highly revered during his era. This portrayal serves as a reminder not only of Cangrande's military prowess but also his influential role as a patron of arts and culture. It is worth noting that religious symbolism subtly intertwines with this artwork; however, it does not overpower or detract from its overall magnificence. Instead, it adds another layer to our understanding by highlighting Cangrande's devout Christian faith. This particular print was captured by an unidentified author affiliated with Alinari – a renowned name associated with preserving visual history through photography. While details about commercial use remain undisclosed here, what truly matters is how this image allows us to connect with Verona's rich heritage and marvel at one man's lasting legacy encapsulated within stone and metal.
