EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite Monument dedicated to Bishop Apollonio, situated within the grand New Cathedral of Brescia. The intricate bas-reliefs adorning this masterpiece were skillfully crafted by Maffeo Olivieri, a renowned artist of his time. The monument itself stands as a testament to the Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles that flourished in Europe during the first and second millenniums A. D. Its creation dates back to 1510, showcasing Olivieri's exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this photograph, we see an enchanting portrayal of Madonna and Child, depicting various aspects of the Virgin's life. The subject is adorned with a headdress that exudes elegance; it could be interpreted as civilian, military or religious in nature. The fashion and clothing worn by both figures reflect their significance within Christian religion. A festoon composed of vegetal elements gracefully drapes over the monument, adding a touch of natural beauty amidst its architectural splendor. The presence of vegetation further enhances the overall composition, creating a harmonious blend between man-made artistry and nature's bounty. The bishop depicted here is undoubtedly a central figure in this artwork. His attire includes a tiara miter atop his head along with an ornate mantle cloak draped around his shoulders – symbols representing his high ecclesiastical rank within Christianity. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured this timeless piece through their lens sometime between 1915-1920 ca. , allowing us to appreciate its magnificence even today. This print serves as not just an artistic representation but also as historical documentation for future generations to admire one of Brescia Cathedral's most remarkable treasures.
