EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a small boy, depicted in intricate detail, from the renowned painting "Alms or Elemosina" by Bartolomeo Schedoni. Housed in the prestigious Capodimonte Museum in Naples, this artwork showcases the Late Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that defined Europe during the first and second millenniums. The photograph was taken in 2002, while the original painting dates back to 1578-1615. Created by Schedoni himself, an esteemed artist of his time, this portrait beautifully portrays a young male child adorned in period clothing. It offers a glimpse into historical fashion trends for children and highlights their social status within society. The image also delves into deeper themes surrounding poverty and societal issues prevalent during that era. The presence of solid bread suggests concerns about diet and food availability at the time. Furthermore, references to medicine and disease allude to potential health challenges faced by individuals during this period. One striking element is the portrayal of blindness through costume accessories such as scarves or blindfolds worn by beggars like this young boy. This serves as a poignant reminder of how disabilities were perceived and treated during late Renaissance Europe. Notably, an object of significance held by the child is a cane or staff—a symbol often associated with those seeking alms or charity—emphasizing his role as a beggar within society's hierarchy. Through Alinari Fratelli's lens capturing this extraordinary piece of artistry from Bartolomeo Schedoni's repertoire, we are transported back centuries ago to witness both artistic brilliance and gain insight into historical contexts surrounding childhood experiences amidst socio-political landscapes.
