EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the solemn beauty of "The tomb of Mary of Durres and to Robert I of Anjou" in the historic church of Santa Chiara in Naples. The image, taken around 1900, showcases a remarkable artwork created by Giovanni Bertini and Pacio Bertini between 1343-1345. The tomb is an intricate masterpiece that exudes both grandeur and spirituality. Its detailed inscription and writing reveal its purpose as a funerary structure for two significant figures from the Middle Ages – Mary of Durres and Robert I of Anjou. The male figure depicted on the tomb signifies nobility, representing their status within European society during this period. Symbolism plays a crucial role in this artwork, with various allegorical representations scattered throughout. From abstract concepts like virtue to concrete subjects such as astronomy or music, each element adds depth to the overall composition. Geometry, rhetoric, arithmetic, grammar, dialectic – all these disciplines are beautifully intertwined within the sepulchre's design. The architecture surrounding the tomb is equally impressive; angelic figures stand tall beside towering spires while pilasters add an air of elegance to this sacred space. Every object meticulously placed contributes to conveying a sense of reverence towards those laid to rest here. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Alinari Fratelli from Alinari studios (not mentioning commercial use), we are transported back through time into Europe's first millennium AD. It serves as a reminder not only of historical significance but also highlights how art can transcend centuries while continuing to evoke emotions within us today.
