EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring Monumental tomb of Ascanio Sanseverino, located in the Chapel of the Sanseverino Family within the Church of SS. Severino e Sossio in Naples. The artwork itself dates back to the XVI century, showcasing a harmonious blend of High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The photograph was taken between 1879 and 1910 by Brogi from Alinari, providing us with a glimpse into this magnificent piece of European history. The image showcases intricate details such as inscriptions, writings, instruments, and communication tools that adorn the tomb's surface. One cannot help but be drawn to the presence of an angelic figure alongside a fanciful griffin-like creature on either side of the monument. These mythical creatures add an element of mystique to this already enchanting composition. Within this grand scene lies a depiction of literature and fiction represented by a child reading while nude figures grace its surroundings. This juxtaposition symbolizes both innocence and knowledge intertwined within human existence. Furthermore, we can observe various Christian religious symbols present throughout the artwork. From saints to biblical references found in both Old and New Testaments - these elements serve as reminders of faith embedded within every detail. Adding further depth to this visual narrative are vegetal elements that intertwine seamlessly with human forms. This fusion represents nature's harmony with mankind's creative endeavors during this period in Europe's artistic development. In conclusion, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate not only Ascanio Sanseverino's monumental tomb but also serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage during different historical periods like High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles.
