EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of art that adorns the main portal archivolt of the parish church of St Maria in Arezzo. The artwork, which dates back to the 13th century, depicts the months of October, November, and December in high relief influenced by Antelami. The intricate details and craftsmanship are evident as each month is represented through allegory and abstract symbols. In this particular section, we see a pig symbolizing abundance and terrestrial life. This medieval representation showcases how animals were an integral part of daily existence during this period. The figures depicted are dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect the fashion trends of the Middle Ages. Their attire gives us a glimpse into what people wore during this time period. Surrounding these figures are vibrant greens, vegetables, plants, vegetation, and legumes - all representing nature's bounty during autumnal harvests. These elements not only add depth to the artwork but also emphasize humanity's dependence on agriculture for sustenance. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1938 by Alinari Fratelli, we can't help but be transported back to Europe's first and second millenniums. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and cultural heritage from centuries past. This print offers us an opportunity to appreciate both artistic mastery and historical significance. It allows us to delve into a world where symbolism was paramount in conveying ideas about seasons, prosperity, and human connection with nature. Let this image serve as an invitation to explore further into medieval artistry while marveling at its enduring beauty across generations.
