EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of a high relief sculpture located on the façade of the Basilica of St. Peter in Rome. Created by Ambrigio Bonvicino during the Renaissance-Baroque period, this masterpiece depicts the consignment of keys to St. Peter. The image showcases a momentous gesture as St. Peter receives the keys, symbolizing his authority within the Christian religion. The artist's skill is evident in every aspect of this work, from the lifelike depiction of figures to the elaborate architectural elements surrounding them. One cannot help but be drawn to a grotesque mask or gargoyle that adorns one side of this composition, adding an intriguing touch to an otherwise religious subject matter. This juxtaposition between beauty and grotesqueness is characteristic of Baroque art. The photograph also provides insight into fashion and clothing styles prevalent during its creation in 1890. The detailed rendering allows us to observe Saint Peter's attire, giving us a glimpse into historical clothing choices. As we admire this print captured by Anderson from Alinari, we are transported back in time to witness an important event from biblical history come alive through artistry and craftsmanship. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also our enduring fascination with religious iconography. This artwork stands as a testament to Bonvicino's talent and creativity while highlighting Europe's artistic achievements throughout different periods in history. Its presence on such an iconic building like St. Peter's Basilica further solidifies its significance within both religious and artistic realms.
