EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Tomb of Cardinal Galeazzo Sanseverino, an exquisite sculpture discovered in the Santa Maria la Nova Church located in Naples. The artwork dates back to the 15th century, during the early Renaissance period, and beautifully combines elements of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The photograph itself was taken between 1879 and 1910 by Brogi from Alinari, capturing every intricate detail of this monumental tomb. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating such a remarkable piece. The sculpture is rich with symbolism and allegory. It features various representations including cornucopia - symbolizing abundance and prosperity; musical instruments - signifying harmony; as well as angels, saints, and Christian religious figures. Cardinal Sanseverino's posthumous portrait is also prominently displayed on the tomb, reflecting his high status within Italian nobility during medieval times. As we delve deeper into history through this photograph, we are reminded of Italy's principalities, kingdoms, monarchies, and national states that shaped its past. Furthermore, biblical references can be found within this artwork – particularly Jesus Christ alongside the Christ child – highlighting the strong influence of Christianity during this era. With its fusion of different artistic styles spanning centuries across Europe's first two millennia AD. , this photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Italy's cultural heritage. It invites us to explore both early Renaissance aesthetics as well as later Baroque influences that emerged during subsequent periods. In conclusion, this print offers viewers a glimpse into an extraordinary work of art embedded with historical significance—a true treasure preserved within Naples' Santa Maria la Nova Church for generations to admire.
