EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing fragment of the tomb of Giovanni di Legnano, a masterpiece created by Jacobello and Pier Paolo dalle Masegne. Preserved in the esteemed Civic Museum of Bologna, this low relief bas-relief tombstone is an exquisite example of late Gothic art from the XIV-XV centuries. The intricate details depicted on this artwork transport us back to the Middle Ages in Europe, offering a glimpse into the artistic prowess of that era. The craftsmanship is truly remarkable, showcasing delicate inscriptions and writings that reflect the importance of communication during those times. As we delve deeper into this image, our attention is drawn to terrestrial mammals and vertebrates intricately carved onto the surface. These animals seem to come alive as they surround a scene featuring a female student immersed in her studies at what appears to be a university setting. This portrayal emphasizes education's significance during that period. A majestic tree with lush vegetation stands tall behind them, its branches forming animal-like shapes that add an element of whimsy to this composition. Additionally, we notice various crests and emblems representing different families or institutions intertwined with plant motifs—a testament to their brand or identity. Photographed around 1900 by Alinari Fratelli—an acclaimed name in capturing historical artworks—this print allows us to appreciate every minute detail preserved within this fragmentary piece. It serves as both an educational tool for understanding medieval artistry and an aesthetic delight for anyone who appreciates European history from the first and second millenniums AD.
