EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of St. Stephen, a wood statue sculpted by Francesco di Valdambrino during the Early Renaissance period. The statue is housed in the Museo della Collegiata di Sant'Andrea, located in Empoli, a charming town near Florence. Standing tall and proud, St. Stephen emanates an aura of wisdom and serenity that transcends time. His weathered wooden features bear witness to centuries of devotion and veneration. Dressed in religious attire, his flowing robes cascade gracefully around him, emphasizing his spiritual significance. The artist's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every detail - from the intricate folds of fabric to the delicate facial expressions etched upon this sacred figure. It is as if Valdambrino has breathed life into wood itself. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time since 1933, we are transported back to an era when communication relied on pen and paper rather than digital screens. A book lies open before St. Stephen, symbolizing knowledge and enlightenment. In this portrayal of youth meeting age, we witness a profound juxtaposition between innocence and experience. St. Stephen represents not only a saint but also an individual who embodies both physiological and psychological aspects of human existence. Through Alinari's lens, we gain insight into the rich tapestry of European history spanning over two millennia - from early Christianity to the flourishing Renaissance period characterized by its fusion with Baroque styles. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with artistry born out of faith while reminding us that even within museums' hallowed halls lie treasures waiting to be discovered anew for generations yet unborn.
