EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the monumental wall tomb of Bishop Rocca, attributed to Bregno, in the exquisite church of S. Maria del Popolo in Rome. The artwork itself dates back to around 1482 during the Early Renaissance period, showcasing a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The photo print, taken around 1890, allows us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship of this remarkable piece. The tomb is adorned with various elements that tell stories from both biblical and religious narratives. From inscriptions and writings to depictions of angels, figures, Madonna and Child, as well as scenes depicting the crucifixion and life of Christ - every aspect reflects deep religious symbolism. Noteworthy architectural features such as pilaster strips, entablatures, arches, capitals are meticulously carved into low relief sculptures. Additionally, festoons composed of vegetal elements add an element of natural beauty to this grand structure. The bishop himself is depicted wearing ornate clothing befitting his position within the clergy. His headdress includes a tiara miter symbolizing his authority within the Christian religion. Surrounding him are other symbols like crests and emblems representing his status. Anderson's skillful photography brings out every intricate detail on this magnificent sculpture while capturing its essence within its historical context. This visual masterpiece serves not only as a testament to Bregno's artistic talent but also provides insight into Europe's rich cultural heritage during the first and second millenniums AD. This print by Anderson from Alinari invites viewers on a journey through time where art meets spirituality in one breathtaking display at S. Maria del Popolo Church in Rome
