EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable panel of the pulpit by Nicola Pisano, showcasing the Circumcision of Jesus Christ. Preserved within the Baptistry of Pisa, this exquisite work of art transports us back to the Gothic period in Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. The panel itself is a true testament to the mastery of its creators, Arnolfo di Cambio, Giovanni Pisano, and Nicola Pisano. Crafted around 1260, it depicts an important moment in the life of Christ – his circumcision. The scene unfolds within a grand temple-like structure that exudes medieval charm. Every detail has been meticulously captured by Alinari's lens in this circa 1890 print. The figures are adorned in period-specific attire, their clothing and headdresses reflecting both civilian and religious fashion from that era. Among them stands Mary, motherly love emanating from her as she witnesses this sacred rite performed on her beloved child. Surrounding Jesus are various male saints and priests who play significant roles in Christian religion. St. Joseph can be seen nearby, offering support during this pivotal event. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates not only a religious narrative but also provides insight into society and politics during the Middle Ages in Europe. It serves as a reminder that art has always been intertwined with social rapport throughout history. The high relief technique employed by Nicola Pisano adds depth and dimension to each figure carved into stone—a testament to his artistic genius which continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation. Alinari's photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while transporting us back through time—an invaluable glimpse into our rich cultural heritage.
