EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of the transenna, or screen, in the renowned Sistine Chapel located in Vatican City. The focal point of this high-relief artwork by Mino da Fiesole is two putti gracefully lifting the papal blazon of the Rovere family. Adorned with a wreath of luscious fruits and sheaves, this masterpiece showcases elements from various artistic styles and periods including Early Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque, and Europe's First and Second Millennium. The photograph was taken around 1890 while the original artwork dates back to approximately 1475-1484. Created by Mino da Fiesole, an esteemed artist of his time, this piece exemplifies his mastery in sculpting human figures with remarkable precision. The putto figures depicted here are both childlike and divine as they stand amidst a lush vegetation backdrop consisting of oak trees, pear fruits, leaves, festoons, spikes, pitchers - all meticulously crafted to create a mesmerizing still life representation. Noteworthy accessories such as ribbons and keys add an air of mystery to this composition while a tiara symbolizes religious significance. A wreath encircling everything serves as a garland-like frame for these symbolic elements. Anderson's photographic expertise has beautifully captured every minute detail present in this extraordinary artwork. This print allows viewers to appreciate not only Mino da Fiesole's skillful craftsmanship but also provides insight into the historical context surrounding art during early Renaissance times.
