EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the "Terracotta Altar with the Annunciation and Saints" a masterpiece created by the renowned della Robbia Workshop. Situated in the Civic Museum of Montepluciano, this altarpiece showcases a harmonious blend of High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Dating back to around 1470-1535, this artwork is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Della Robbia family. The image depicts an enchanting scene from biblical lore - The Annunciation. At its center stands the Virgin Mary, her serene countenance adorned with a delicate veil and headdress befitting her religious role. She is accompanied by an angelic figure, identified as Archangel Gabriel, who brings tidings of great joy. The composition exudes grace and elegance as it portrays these divine figures amidst lush vegetation and vibrant flowers. A lily held delicately in Mary's hand symbolizes purity and innocence while also alluding to her role as "the Lily among thorns". Surrounding them are saints whose identities remain shrouded in mystery but add depth to this sacred tableau. Their presence reinforces Christian beliefs while showcasing their distinctive attire that reflects both civilian and religious fashion trends prevalent during that era. Captured around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the intricate details but also highlights how art transcends time. It serves as a visual link between Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia - from First Millennium A. D. , through Renaissance up until Second Millennium A. D. In essence, this print invites viewers into a world where faith intertwines with artistic brilliance – an enduring testament to humanity's quest for spiritual enlightenment throughout history.
