EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of an inlaid marble panel found on the floor of Siena Cathedral. Dating back to the High Renaissance period, this remarkable artwork depicts the iconic Sienese she-wolf alongside symbols representing allied cities. The intricate marquetry work showcases a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The photograph, taken around 1915-1920 by Brogi from Alinari, allows us to admire every detail of this magnificent piece. The craftsmanship is truly awe-inspiring as we observe allegorical figures, abstract concepts, and symbolic representations come to life through various elements such as geese, birds, rabbits, elephants, lions, wolves, dragons and other fanciful creatures. As we delve into the composition further, it becomes evident that literature and fiction have influenced these artistic choices. The presence of nude human bodies adds a touch of vulnerability and sensuality to this grandiose creation. Siena Cathedral's tarsia flooring serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it stands as a tangible link between past civilizations and our present understanding of artistry. Through this photograph print by Brogi from Alinari, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the magnificence that once graced Siena Cathedral's floors. It reminds us that art has always been an integral part of human expression throughout history - transcending time and leaving an indelible mark on our collective consciousness.
