EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the wooden chorus seats in the abbey of Staffarda. Carved and sculpted by a collaboration of Flemish artists, German masters, and local craftsmen, this remarkable work of art is now housed in the Civic Antique Art Museum of Turin. The craftsmanship on display here is truly awe-inspiring. Each seat bears evidence of meticulous attention to detail, with delicate carvings and sculptures adorning every surface. The fusion of Renaissance and Baroque styles is evident in the ornate motifs that grace these exquisite pieces. Dating back to the 16th century, these choir stalls have witnessed centuries' worth of history unfold within their walls. They stand as a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage during both the first and second millennia A. D. Captured between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur but also the fine nuances present in each seat. The low relief sculptures bring life to mythological figures, biblical scenes, and intricate patterns that tell stories from times long past. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era when master artisans poured their hearts into creating objects that were not only functional but also works of art. This photograph serves as a reminder that even everyday objects can be elevated through skilled craftsmanship into something extraordinary. In its stillness captured through Alinari Fratelli's lens, this artwork invites us to marvel at its beauty while igniting our curiosity about those who once occupied these very seats centuries ago.
