EDITORS COMMENTS
The Nativity; bas-relief attributed to Fra' Guglielmo and collocated in the Cathedral of Pisa captures a moment of profound significance in Christian history. This exquisite print, dating back to the 13th century, showcases the remarkable talent of Fra' Guglielmo da Pisa, an artist whose name has become synonymous with masterful craftsmanship. In this bas-relief, we witness the birth of Jesus Christ as depicted through intricate details and delicate contours. The scene unfolds within a grotto stall, where Mary and Joseph tenderly cradle their newborn child. A heavenly angel hovers above them, its ethereal presence illuminating the humble surroundings. Surrounding this central tableau are shepherds tending to their flock, symbolizing both simplicity and devotion. Fra' Guglielmo's artistry breathes life into each figure portrayed – from the serene expressions on Mary's face to Joseph's protective stance. Every element is meticulously carved with precision and care: from the sheep grazing nearby to every fold in their garments that adds depth and realism. This artwork not only serves as a testament to Fra' Guglielmo's skill but also offers us a glimpse into medieval Europe during the Middle Ages. It reminds us of how faith played an integral role in shaping society at that time. The photograph itself was taken between 1920-1930 by Brogi from Alinari, capturing every nuance of this timeless masterpiece for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back through centuries – connecting with our rich cultural heritage while marveling at the enduring power of religious art.
