EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the Coronation of the Virgin, found in the Church of the Osservanza in Siena. Created by Andrea della Robbia during the Early Renaissance period, this glazed terracotta artwork is a true testament to his artistic prowess. In this particular scene, we are drawn to a serene and humble Nativity setting. The central focus lies on the Virgin Mary, depicted with grace and humility as she cradles baby Jesus in her arms. Surrounding them are various figures that bring life to this sacred moment - an angel stands beside Mary, while shepherds gather around with their flock nearby. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element within this composition has been meticulously crafted. From the gentle expressions on each figure's face to the intricate folds of their clothing, Della Robbia's mastery shines through. The artist also pays homage to nature by including animals such as donkeys and oxen within this holy scene. A sense of tranquility emanates from these creatures as they peacefully observe the miracle unfolding before them. Set against a backdrop of lush vegetation and towering trees, this Nativity scene takes place within a grotto stall adorned with delicate accessories. The overall effect transports viewers back in time, immersing them into biblical narratives that have shaped our collective consciousness for centuries. Captured between 1915-1920 by Brogi from Alinari, this photograph allows us to appreciate Della Robbia's masterpiece even if we cannot witness it firsthand today. It serves as a reminder of how art transcends time and space, connecting us with profound moments from history while evoking emotions that resonate across generations.
