EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of "The Virgin with Child" a marble bas-relief created by the renowned artist Jacopo Della Quercia. Preserved in Palazzo Pubblico, located in the enchanting city of Siena, this exquisite artwork showcases the mastery of early Renaissance craftsmanship. Dated around 1400-1438, Della Quercia's creation depicts the Madonna and Child, a subject that has long fascinated artists throughout history. The delicate details on their headdresses reflect both religious and civilian influences, while their clothing embodies the fashion trends of Renaissance Europe. In this image, we see The Virgin gracefully seated on an intricately carved chair adorned with biblical motifs from the New Testament. Her mantle elegantly drapes over her shoulders like a cloak, adding to her regal presence. Meanwhile, she cradles Baby Jesus tenderly in her arms—a symbol of divine love and maternal devotion. Alinari's expert photography skillfully captures every nuance of this remarkable bas-relief. Taken around 1890, it allows us to appreciate not only Della Quercia's artistry but also how well-preserved this masterpiece remains after centuries. "The Virgin with Child" is a testament to the enduring legacy of Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. It serves as a reminder of Europe's rich cultural heritage during both the first and second millennia AD. This print by Alinari Fratelli offers viewers an opportunity to bring home a piece of art history—an element that can enhance any sacred space or add elegance to furniture and furnishings collections alike. Let it transport you back in time as you marvel at its intricate details and contemplate its profound symbolism.
