EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of a wooden pluteus, adorned with exquisite inlays designed by the legendary Michelangelo. The pluteus is located at the Medici Laurentian Library in Florence, an architectural gem that epitomizes the High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Dating back to the 16th century, this remarkable piece of furniture was captured by photographer Brogi Giacomo around 1890. It represents not only a functional element but also a true work of art within sacred spaces. Crafted with precision and skill, this wooden lectern exemplifies the mastery of cabinet work and ornamentation. The intricate vegetal elements and festoons adorning the pluteus add an enchanting touch to its overall design. Each delicate detail speaks volumes about Michelangelo's artistic vision and his ability to seamlessly blend different styles from various historical periods. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the beauty and grandeur that once graced European interiors during the Renaissance era. This image serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. Alinari's Stabilimento Fotografico has impeccably preserved this snapshot for us all to admire today.
