EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the rear side of the Shrine of St. Zenobius, a masterpiece created by the renowned artist Lorenzo Ghiberti during the Early Renaissance period. Preserved within the magnificent Duomo of S. Maria del Fiore in Florence, Italy, this intricate low relief bas-relief is an exquisite example of European art from the first and second millenniums. The image showcases Ghiberti's exceptional craftsmanship, depicting an array of elements that evoke a sense of divine communication and religious symbolism. An angelic figure stands prominently at the center, holding an inscription or writing instrument as if delivering a message from above. The angel's flowing robes reflect both fashion and clothing styles prevalent during that era. Surrounding this central figure are festoons adorned with vegetal elements and compositions, adding a touch of natural beauty to the artwork. The attention to detail is remarkable; every leaf and vine seems to come alive under Ghiberti's skillful hands. The photograph was taken around 1890 but captures an artwork dating back to approximately 1442 AD when it was originally crafted by Ghiberti himself. His mastery in combining early Renaissance influences with later Renaissance-Baroque styles is evident in this piece. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this timeless work through their lens, preserving its magnificence for generations to come. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of Europe's most significant artistic achievements – a testament to human creativity throughout history.
