EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Monument to Giovanni Borromeo, a remarkable piece of art originating from the suppressed church of Saint Francis the Great in Milan. The monument is now carefully conserved in the chapel of the villa-palace Borromeo on Bella Island, Novara. The photograph captures this exquisite funerary monument in all its Renaissance glory. Created between 1475 and 1478 by the talented artist Amadeo Giovanni Antonio, it stands as a testament to his skill and artistic vision. The artwork beautifully combines elements of both Renaissance and Baroque styles, showcasing intricate details and masterful craftsmanship. Set against the backdrop of Novara Lake Maggiore on Bella Island, this photograph transports us back to a different era. It offers a glimpse into Europe's rich history during the first and second millenniums A. D. , where art flourished as an expression of faith and cultural identity. Intriguingly, amidst this grand scene lies a majestic lion - symbolizing strength and nobility - adding an element of mystery to this composition. This terrestrial mammal serves as a reminder that even within religious settings, nature can find its place alongside human creations. As we admire this portrait-like image captured by Alinari Fratelli around 1915-1920, we are reminded not only of our own mortality but also how art has transcended time itself. This photograph invites us to appreciate both the beauty found in religious devotion and the enduring power of artistic expression throughout history.
