EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable terracotta circle in the style of Robbia, depicting none other than God, the Father. Preserved within the esteemed Mueso del Duomo of Empoli, this exquisite work of art is a testament to the mastery and skill of its creator. Dating back to the 15th century (XV sec. ), this low relief bas-relief belongs to the Early Renaissance period, which marked a significant shift in artistic expression and cultural rebirth across Europe. The artist behind this awe-inspiring piece is believed to be from Della Robbia's school, an influential figure during that time. The photograph itself was taken around 1900 by Alinari, Fratelli – renowned photographers known for their exceptional ability to capture intricate details and bring them to life through their lens. In this divine scene depicted on the terracotta circle, we see God surrounded by heavenly figures such as angels and cherubs. With his benevolent gaze fixed upon us, he holds a book symbolizing knowledge and communication while bestowing his blessings upon all who behold him. Adorned with garlands made up of fruits and vegetation, reminiscent of wreaths often associated with religious ceremonies or celebrations. This artwork beautifully embodies elements from both early Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles – showcasing influences from different periods throughout history. As we marvel at this extraordinary creation captured in time by Alinari's lens, it serves as a reminder not only of our rich European heritage but also invites contemplation on themes central to Christian religion such as faith, spirituality, and divine intervention.
