EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sculpture of "The Eternal Father on the globe supported by the Evangelists" by Girolamo Campagna. Located on an altar in the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore, in Venice, this bronze masterpiece showcases a harmonious blend of Late Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Dating back to 1591-1593, this artwork is a testament to Campagna's artistic prowess and his ability to convey complex concepts through sculpture. The central figure depicts The Eternal Father seated on a globe, symbolizing His omnipresence and dominion over the earth. Surrounding Him are four evangelists - St. Mark represented by a lion, St. John portrayed as an eagle, and two other figures yet to be identified. Each evangelist holds an instrument or object associated with their role in depicting different aspects of Christ's life according to biblical narratives found in the New Testament. This sculptural group not only serves as a visual representation but also conveys allegorical and abstract concepts related to Christian religion and Catholicism. The attention to detail is remarkable; every contour seems meticulously crafted with precision. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1900, we can't help but marvel at how well-preserved this piece has remained throughout time. "The Eternal Father on the globe supported by the Evangelists" stands as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence during the Renaissance period in Europe. It continues to inspire viewers today with its profound symbolism and exquisite craftsmanship—a true treasure within one of Venice's most iconic churches.
