EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble sculpture of Saint Matthew Apostle, created by the talented artist Camillo Rusconi (1658-1728). The statue finds its home in the grand Basilica of San Giovanni in Laterano, Rome. With its late Baroque style and influences from both Renaissance and Baroque periods, this artwork stands as a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage spanning over a millennium. The photograph itself was taken around 1920-1930, capturing the intricate details of Rusconi's masterpiece. Saint Matthew is depicted in ancient attire, showcasing his saintly persona with grace and dignity. Holding a book in one hand and an object that resembles a coin in another, he exudes wisdom and authority. The composition also includes a sack or bag at Saint Matthew's side, adding depth to the portrayal of this revered figure. The baroque elements are evident not only in the sculpture but also throughout the basilica itself. Alinari Fratelli has expertly captured this momentous artwork through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate every nuance and intricacy present within Rusconi's creation. This print serves as a visual time capsule bridging centuries together - from its creation between 1708-1718 to being immortalized on film almost two centuries later. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of the enduring power of art to transcend time and connect us with our cultural heritage. It invites us into an exploration of faith, history, fashion trends of yesteryears while marveling at human creativity expressed through stone-carved masterpieces like these found within Rome's sacred spaces.
