EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the Reliquary of St. Sixtus, a remarkable goldsmith's work by the Florentine School. Originally housed in the Church of S. Maria, this extraordinary piece is now lovingly preserved in the Museum of the Treasure at Impruneta. The Reliquary showcases an intriguing blend of Mannerism, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods, representing Europe's artistic evolution during the first and second millenniums A. D. The craftsmanship is truly awe-inspiring, with intricate details that speak to the skill and dedication of its creators. In this image, we see a bishop adorned with religious regalia wearing a magnificent headdress known as a tiara miter. His attire reflects both civilian and military influences, symbolizing his role as a spiritual leader within Christian religion. Surrounding him are acanthus leaves intertwined with brier wreaths, forming an elegant garland that adds depth and texture to this masterpiece. These vegetal elements not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also carry symbolic meaning associated with growth and vitality. Dating back to approximately XVI century (16th century), this relic has stood the test of time while retaining its splendor. The photograph itself was taken in 1933 by Alinari Fratelli from Alinari - renowned for their expertise in capturing art through their lens. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of history's most exceptional works of art – an embodiment of faith, creativity, and cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations even today.
