EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a timeless masterpiece, the "Ospedale del Ceppo (Pistoia). The Seven Works of Mercy: 'visiting the sick'". This exquisite low relief artwork, created in the High Renaissance period by Buglioni, Santi, showcases the fusion of Renaissance and Baroque styles. The scene depicted in this print is set within Europe during the first millennium. It portrays a physician attending to a sick person lying on a bed adorned with intricate furnishings. The attention to detail in their clothing reflects the fashion and style of that era. Intriguingly, alongside the physician stands a clergyman representing Christian religion. This inclusion emphasizes not only medical care but also spiritual support as an essential aspect of visiting the sick. The Ospedale del Ceppo itself holds historical significance as it served as a civic space for healing during its time. Its architectural grandeur perfectly complements this remarkable artwork. Photographed around 1900 by Alinari Fratelli, this image beautifully captures both the artistry and craftsmanship involved in creating such masterpieces centuries ago. The composition highlights every delicate line and curve meticulously carved into stone. As we admire this print today, we are transported back to an era where medicine was intertwined with faith and compassion for those suffering from diseases or disorders. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experience throughout history – one filled with challenges overcome through empathy and care. This print from Alinari offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only Buglioni's artistic talent but also to reflect on how healthcare has evolved over time while recognizing its enduring importance in society.
