EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite detail of the "Faces of the Archangel and Tobias" from Andrea della Robbia's tabernacle in the Canigiani Chapel, located within the historic Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence. The photograph, taken around 1920-1930, beautifully captures this masterpiece that dates back to 1490-1495 during the Early Renaissance period. In this high relief artwork, we witness a profound depiction of Archangel Raphael and Tobias from the biblical story found in the Old Testament book of Tobit. The figures are meticulously crafted with delicate features and adorned in intricate clothing that reflects both fashion trends and religious symbolism prevalent during that time. The artist's mastery is evident as he skillfully portrays each facial expression with remarkable precision. The viewer can observe every nuance on their faces - be it contemplation, compassion or awe - evoking a sense of spirituality and reverence. Notably, Della Robbia's attention to detail extends beyond just human figures; even objects like wings are intricately designed to convey a lifelike quality. This amalgamation of human form and divine presence exemplifies both Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods prevalent across Europe during this era. Alinari Fratelli's photography allows us to appreciate these masterful details up close while preserving them for future generations. Through this photograph, we gain insight into an extraordinary piece of art history that seamlessly combines religious narrative with artistic brilliance. As we delve into this image captured almost a century ago, we are transported back through time to experience firsthand one aspect of Florence's rich cultural heritage – an enduring testament to humanity’s pursuit for beauty, faith, and artistic expression throughout centuries past.
