EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of the Rossi family tomb, a masterpiece sculpted by Giuseppe Benetti. Located in the Monumental Cemetery in Staglieno, Genoa, this stunning artwork showcases a seated angel looking downwards with profound contemplation. The photograph was taken around 1900, while the sculpture itself dates back to 1878. Created during the 19th century, it represents an exquisite example of European arts and handicrafts from that era. The craftsmanship is evident in every element - from the delicate texture of textile drapery to the meticulous rendering of facial features. The angel's posture exudes a sense of solemnity and introspection as its gaze fixates on something unseen below. Its wings are gracefully spread out behind it, adorned with plumes that add an ethereal touch to this mesmerizing piece. Examining this artwork reveals various symbolic elements associated with pain, allegory, abstract concepts, and human anatomy. From fingers to toes, hair to legs - every part of the body is meticulously carved with remarkable precision. The artist's attention to detail is particularly notable in capturing expressive facial features such as eyes, nose, mouth lips – each conveying individual physiological and psychological aspects. Brogi Giacomo captured this extraordinary work through his lens at Alinari's photographic establishment without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation. This photograph serves as a testament not only to Benetti's artistic prowess but also preserves a glimpse into Europe's rich cultural heritage during both first and second millennia AD. Intriguingly timeless yet rooted in history; this print invites viewers into an immersive exploration of artistry that transcends time and speaks volumes about human creativity across centuries.
