EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable bronze sculpture titled "St. Peter freed from jail" attributed to the renowned artist Caradosso (1452-1526 ca. ). The artwork is housed within the historic Church of S. Pietro in Vincoli, located in Rome, Italy. The low relief bas-relief sculpture showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Its creation dates back to around 1477, making it an invaluable piece of European art from the first and second millennium A. D. The photograph itself was taken between 1920-1930, providing us with a glimpse into this magnificent artwork's past. It beautifully captures every intricate detail of Caradosso's masterpiece, highlighting his exceptional talent for sculpting architectural elements such as balconies and prison cells. In this scene depicted by Caradosso, we witness St. Peter being liberated from his imprisonment by an angelic figure adorned with religious headdress. The saintly figure stands tall amidst a backdrop of festoons and vegetal compositions that add depth to the composition. Noteworthy details include the representation of handcuffs symbolizing St. Peter's release from captivity, as well as crests and emblems that signify his significance within Christian religion. The photograph also provides insight into the architectural setting surrounding this extraordinary sculpture; showcasing single light windows reminiscent of Renaissance design principles alongside biblical references found in New Testament scriptures. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured this momentous artwork through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate its beauty even if they cannot experience it firsthand at Church of S. Pietro in Vincoli today.
