EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Renaissance tabernacle in marble, located within Capranica's Cathedral dedicated to Saint John the Evangelist. The photograph, taken between 1915-1920, beautifully captures the intricate details of this remarkable artwork from the XV century. The tabernacle is a true testament to the artistic brilliance of Europe during the Renaissance period. Its design incorporates elements from various styles and periods such as Early Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque, making it a unique representation of architectural evolution throughout history. As one gazes at this image, they are immediately drawn to its symbolic richness. The presence of an inscription suggests that communication plays a significant role in conveying its message. A cornucopia symbolizes abundance and prosperity while abstract concepts are portrayed through allegorical figures like doves and eagles. The use of low relief sculpture brings life to prophets like Isaiah and angelic beings such as seraphs. Festoons with vegetal elements adorn columns and pilaster strips, adding an organic touch to this magnificent structure. A book serves as a prominent object within the composition, representing knowledge or perhaps religious teachings. A coat of arms in the shape of a cross proudly displays emblems associated with renaissance Europe and biblical references from both Old Testament and New Testament can be found throughout this masterpiece. Jesus Christ himself is depicted alongside his child form - Christ Child - emphasizing themes related to faith and salvation. Brogi's expert photography skillfully captures every detail with precision; allowing viewers today to appreciate not only the artistry but also gain insight into European history spanning over two millennia. This print by Alinari invites us on a journey back in time where we can marvel at human creativity expressed through architecture, sculpture, symbolism, and devotion all encapsulated within one awe-inspiring tabernacle.
