EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of art history - a wax model believed to be the supposed model for the equestrian monument of Alessandro Farnese. Created by the talented sculptor Francesco Mochi, this exquisite statuette can be found in The Bargello National Museum in Florence. Dating back to around 1620, this stunning artwork showcases both Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles, reflecting the artistic influences of its time. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to an era that witnessed great architectural achievements and celebrated famous individuals through monumental structures. The attention to detail is truly awe-inspiring. The artist has meticulously captured every aspect of this commemorative structure - from the intricate clothing and fashion accessories adorning the rider's costume, to the majestic horseback pose exuding power and grace. It serves as a testament not only to Mochi's exceptional talent but also to his deep understanding of anatomy and zoology. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are reminded of Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. The equestrian monument stands tall against a backdrop that hints at its ancient origins while simultaneously embracing contemporary elements. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this moment in time during the early 20th century when photography was still evolving as an art form itself. Their skillful composition allows us to appreciate every nuance of Mochi's masterpiece with clarity and depth. This print serves as a window into our past - a glimpse into an era where artistry thrived alongside innovation. It invites us to marvel at human creativity while honoring those who have left indelible marks on history.
