EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning panel artwork titled "Panel with the Burial of Jacob's wife" by Jacopo della Quercia. Originally painted for the left portal of the Church of San Petronio in Bologna, this masterpiece showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of early Renaissance art. The photo print, taken between 1920-1930, allows us to admire every intricate detail of this remarkable piece created between 1425-1438. The artist behind this work is Amico Aspertini, who skillfully portrays a scene from biblical times with great emotion and realism. In this composition, we see a grieving woman mourning over the body of Jacob's wife. Her face is filled with sorrow as tears stream down her cheeks. The artist beautifully captures her pain and anguish through his meticulous attention to facial expression. The female figure stands nude, emphasizing vulnerability and human fragility while draped in an elegant mantle cloak that adds an element of gracefulness to her form. Surrounding her are vegetal elements that symbolize life and growth amidst death. This photograph not only highlights the artistic brilliance but also invites contemplation on various themes such as grief, loss, and mortality. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, humans experienced profound emotions similar to our own. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured this timeless artwork through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty from afar. This print offers us a glimpse into history while showcasing the enduring power of Renaissance artistry across Europe during different periods and styles.
