EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite glazed terracotta lunette representing the Coronation of the Virgin, a masterpiece created by Benedetto Buglioni. Located in the Portico of the Ospedale del Ceppo in Pistoia, this high relief artwork is a true testament to Buglioni's artistic prowess. The image showcases intricate details that bring this religious scene to life. The Coronation of the Virgin takes center stage, with Mary being crowned as Queen of Heaven by God himself. Adorned with a crown and jewelry fit for royalty, she stands gracefully amidst heavenly beings and cherubs with outstretched wings. Buglioni's mastery is evident in his ability to capture every nuance and emotion on each figure's face. The clothing and headdresses worn by both male figures and angels reflect the fashion trends of their time, adding an element of historical significance to this piece. The artist's attention to detail extends beyond human subjects; even individual parts of their bodies are meticulously crafted. This level of precision highlights Buglioni's dedication to creating a lifelike representation that resonates deeply with viewers. As a Christian religious artwork from around 1510, this lunette holds immense spiritual significance. It draws inspiration from biblical narratives found in the New Testament while also embodying physiological and psychological aspects associated with faith. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this timeless work through their lens around 1900. Their photographic print allows us today to appreciate Benedetto Buglioni’s skillful craftsmanship preserved within the walls of Ospedale del Ceppo in Pistoia—a remarkable testament to artistry that transcends time itself.
