EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of a Tabernacle for Holy Oils, a sculpture created by an artist from the renowned Carrarese School. The artwork is housed in the Saint Stephen's Parish Church, nestled in Vallecchia near Pietrasanta, Versilia. The Tabernacle itself is a stunning example of Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles that flourished throughout Europe during the First and Second Millennium A. D. Its creation dates back to 1681, showcasing the timeless craftsmanship of its creator from the Carrarese School. The image was taken around 1920-1930 by Brogi, capturing not only the exquisite details of this religious structure but also providing us with a glimpse into history. It serves as a testament to both artistic mastery and historical preservation. In this photo print, we see an angelic figure adorning the sepulchre-like structure of the Tabernacle. The delicate folds of their clothing reflect fashion trends prevalent during that era while evoking a sense of reverence and prayerfulness associated with Catholicism. Surrounded by lush vegetation, including briers and other vegetal elements typical of Baroque aesthetics, this scene transports viewers into another time period where religion played a central role in people's lives. This photograph offers more than just visual appeal; it invites contemplation on themes such as spirituality, faith, and devotion. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage intertwined with religious narratives found within literature and fiction. Brogi's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured within this frame – from the fine lines etched onto stone surfaces to subtle nuances in light and shadow that bring life to this remarkable work of art.
