EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of the "Lunette with the Crucifixion" artwork, which is located above the central portal of the Cathedral of San Martino in Pietrasanta, near Lucca, Versilia. Created by an artist from the Pisan School during the 13th century, this Romanesque masterpiece depicts a significant moment in Christian history - the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. In this image, we see Virgin Mary standing beside her son's cross, accompanied by an angel and St. John the Evangelist. Each figure is meticulously carved with precision and emotion, showcasing their individual roles in this pivotal event. The pain and suffering are palpable as Jesus hangs on his wooden cross while wearing only a loincloth. The photograph also highlights various elements that reflect life during medieval times in Europe. From fashion choices to religious symbols such as mantles and cloaks worn by some figures, it offers glimpses into both physical appearances and spiritual beliefs prevalent at that time. Brogi Giacomo's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every delicate detail of this low relief artwork. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to each figure's expression and enhances our understanding of their physiological and psychological aspects. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured nearly a century ago (around 1920-1930), we can't help but marvel at its enduring beauty despite its age. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of artistic excellence but also of humanity's deep connection to faith throughout history.
