EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning statue of St. Jerome, skillfully crafted by the renowned Italian sculptor Alessandro Vittoria. The statue finds its home in the grandeur of the church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in Venice, Italy. A true masterpiece of Mannerism, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods, this artwork stands as a testament to Vittoria's exceptional talent and artistic vision. Created in 1564, it showcases intricate details that bring St. Jerome to life before our eyes. In this remarkable composition, we see St. Jerome depicted with his iconic attributes - a book and writing instrument symbolizing his scholarly pursuits and contributions to Christian theology. Standing beside him is a majestic lion, representing his legendary ability to tame even the wildest beasts through faith. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of this extraordinary sculpture while highlighting its exquisite craftsmanship. It takes us back in time to an era where art flourished under Europe's First and Second Millennium A. D. , leaving an indelible mark on history. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time around 1900, we are reminded of the profound impact that religious art has had on human civilization throughout centuries. The male nude figure serves as a reminder of our shared humanity while emphasizing St. Jerome's saintly status within Christian tradition. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured every detail with their lens – from the texture of hair on St. Jerome’s body to each contour meticulously carved by Vittoria himself. This print invites us into a world where spirituality intertwines with artistic expression; it transports us to Venice's Church of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari for an awe-inspiring encounter with one of history's greatest sculptures
