EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite Statue of Saint Elena, a remarkable work of art located in the Chapel of Saint Elena within the Church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli, Rome. The statue showcases an impressive blend of Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles, reflecting Europe's rich artistic heritage from the First and Second Millennium A. D. Taken around 1940, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this magnificent sculpture. Adorned with a crown and jewelry, Saint Elena holds an object that symbolizes her significance in history. Her gesture conveys both strength and grace as she communicates with viewers through her commanding presence. The image also highlights various elements related to human psychology and historical context. From her elaborate headdress to her carefully crafted clothing, every aspect reflects the fashion and style prevalent during that period. The belt, veil, brooches – all contribute to creating a regal aura around Saint Elena. Moreover, Anderson's skillful composition draws attention to specific body parts such as hands and feet while emphasizing facial features like eyes, nose, and ears. This portrait-like approach adds depth to our understanding of this female character who played a significant role in ancient literature and fiction. As we gaze upon this print captured by Alinari's lens, we are transported back in time to witness not only the artistry but also gain insights into nobility possessions during those times. The inclusion of a cross further emphasizes Saint Elena's religious importance within society. Overall, this print offers a glimpse into European history through its exploration of individual physiognomy alongside artistic styles spanning centuries - from Renaissance to Baroque periods. It is truly an evocative piece that invites contemplation on both aesthetic beauty and cultural significance without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company or organization
