EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Reredos of Saint Anselmo, standing proudly amidst a congregation of other saints. Crafted in the renowned Robbia style, this masterpiece is now preserved within the esteemed Mueso del Duomo of Empoli. The Reredos itself is a true testament to the artistic brilliance of the Renaissance era. Its high relief design seamlessly blends elements from both Renaissance and Baroque styles, creating an awe-inspiring fusion that captivates viewers even today. The artwork dates back to the 16th century, attributed to Della Robbia and his school. In this photograph taken around 1900, we are presented with a visual feast for our senses. The lamb symbolizing purity and sacrifice stands at the forefront, surrounded by terrestrial mammals and various vertebrates. A celestial angel figure hovers above them all while female saints don elegant religious clothing that reflects contemporary fashion trends. Notably present among these figures is a male saint adorned in a cope and headdress representative of his religious role. Each accessory worn by these saints holds significance within Christian religion – from pastoral staffs denoting authority to mysterious objects adding intrigue to their narratives. As we delve deeper into this image's details, we discover hints of renaissance influences such as biblical references from both Old and New Testaments. Intricately designed tiaras and miters further emphasize Europe's rich history during its first and second millenniums. Captured by Alinari Fratelli through their lens expertise, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also serves as a time capsule transporting us back centuries ago when masterpieces like these were created with utmost devotion.
