EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of "Saint Regulus' Altar" by Matteo Civitali, located in the magnificent Saint Martin's Cathedral in Lucca. The artwork, dating back to 1484 during the Early Renaissance period, showcases a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The altar is adorned with intricate inscriptions and writings, symbolizing communication and knowledge. It serves as a powerful reminder of life's fleeting nature, depicting allegorical figures representing death and abstract concepts. Among them stands John the Baptist, an important biblical figure associated with repentance. The presence of an angel adds a celestial touch to this masterpiece while emphasizing its religious significance. At the center of it all is Madonna and Child, portraying representations of the Virgin Mary holding baby Jesus—a subject that holds great importance within Christian religion. Notably, Saint Regulus' Altar also pays homage to St. Sebastian—an early Christian martyr known for his unwavering faith—further highlighting elements from both Renaissance and Baroque periods. Captured around 1900 by Brogi from Alinari Studios, this photograph allows us to appreciate every minute detail meticulously crafted by Civitali over five centuries ago. Its composition beautifully encapsulates Europe's artistic heritage throughout the first and second millenniums A. D. , showcasing how art evolves through different stylistic periods. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness the genius behind Civitali's work firsthand—a testament to human creativity that continues to inspire generations even today.
