EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Marzocco statue, created by Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi, famously known as Donatello. The sculpture has been a prominent feature in Piazza della Signoria since 1885 and is now housed in the esteemed Bargello National Museum in Florence. Dating back to the early Renaissance period, this exquisite stone artwork was crafted between 1440 and 1460. Donatello's mastery is evident in every detail of this magnificent piece, which seamlessly blends elements of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The photograph itself was taken between 1880 and 1885, capturing the timeless beauty of the Marzocco statue. Standing proudly on Signoria Square, it symbolizes strength and power through its representation of a lion – a terrestrial mammal that has long been associated with courage and nobility. The image also highlights an intriguing juxtaposition: nestled within the intricate crest lies a lily plant – a delicate vegetable representing purity and innocence. This allegorical combination adds depth to the overall composition while hinting at abstract concepts such as balance or duality. As one gazes upon this remarkable artwork frozen in time by Anderson's lens, it becomes apparent that this photograph transcends mere documentation; it captures not only an emblematic symbol but also Europe's rich artistic heritage spanning centuries. Whether you are drawn to its historical significance or simply captivated by its aesthetic allure, this print serves as a testament to Donatello's genius and reminds us of Florence's enduring legacy as an epicenter for art during both the first and second millenniums AD.
