EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-S-000164-0002" by Alinari, we are transported back in time to the late 19th century. The scene unfolds within the walls of the Certosa del Galluzzo, where three serene monks stand alongside two sharply dressed salespeople and a curious client in what appears to be a bustling pharmacy. The composition is rich with details that offer us a glimpse into the world of commerce and trade during this era. On the counter before them, an array of objects can be identified - from a set of scales used for precise measurements to two phials containing mysterious liquids. However, it is perhaps the presence of a stuffed bird of prey that adds an intriguing touch to this tableau. The contrast between the religious figures and secular salespeople sparks curiosity about their interaction within this space dedicated to medicine. The monks don their traditional habits, exuding an air of tranquility and devotion amidst their surroundings. Meanwhile, the salespeople's fashionable attire reflects changing trends in clothing at that time. This portrait captures not only individuals but also represents larger themes such as religion, male fashion, and Christian traditions. It offers us insight into how different groups coexisted within society while engaging in various aspects like commerce or healthcare. Alinari's skillful lens transports us back over a century ago when these diverse worlds converged under one roof – creating an image that resonates with both historical significance and timeless intrigue.
