EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of "The Tomb of Ilaria del Carretto" a masterpiece created by Jacopo della Quercia. Located in the grand St. Martin's Cathedral in Lucca, Italy, this funerary monument is an iconic representation of early Renaissance art. Dating back to 1408, this artwork showcases Della Quercia's exceptional talent and attention to detail. The tomb itself is a magnificent blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, reflecting the artistic evolution that took place during this period in Europe. Intriguingly, the photograph was taken around 1900, providing us with a glimpse into how this stunning work has stood the test of time. It allows us to appreciate not only Della Quercia's skill but also the enduring legacy of his creation. Within the frame lies more than just an architectural marvel; it tells a story through its intricate details. A dog rests at Ilaria del Carretto's feet, symbolizing loyalty and fidelity even beyond death. A putto figure hovers above her tombstone while literature and fiction surround her portrait—perhaps representing her love for knowledge and storytelling. The composition is further enhanced by festoons of vegetation delicately draped across the scene—a testament to nature's eternal presence amidst human creations. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured by Brogi from Alinari, we are transported back in time to witness both history and art intertwine seamlessly. We can't help but be captivated by Ilaria del Carretto herself—an adolescent girl immortalized forever through sculpture—and ponder on her life as well as our own fleeting existence. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that great works endure throughout centuries, transcending boundaries between past and present while inspiring awe within all who encounter them.
