EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Portal of the Cathedral of Lucca" transports us back in time to the 1930s or 1940s. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Guido Bigarelli, who beautifully captures the essence of the XIII century artwork found on the Cathedral's portico. The image showcases a plethora of intricate details that make up this stunning portal. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to an imposing eagle perched atop one side. This majestic creature represents strength and power, while also symbolizing freedom and vision. Moving along, we encounter various other elements meticulously carved into the stone. A lion stands tall as a representation of courage and majesty, reminding us of Jesus Christ himself – often depicted as "the Lion of Judah". Nearby, we see figures depicting biblical scenes from the New Testament: Virgin Mary with baby Jesus in her arms; apostles such as St. Matthew; Luke accompanied by an angel; among others. These symbolic representations serve not only as religious imagery but also convey abstract concepts like faith, devotion, and divine protection. Each figure tells a story within itself – stories that have shaped history for centuries. Although created by an unidentified author from Alinari, this print preserves every detail with great precision and clarity. It allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in crafting these sculptures centuries ago and Bigarelli's talent in capturing their beauty through his lens. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as a window into Lucca's rich cultural heritage – inviting us to explore its magnificent cathedral and immerse ourselves in its timeless beauty.
