EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the Silver Altar of Saint James the Major, located in the Duomo of Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy. The focus is on the antependium decor, specifically depicting episodes from the New Testament - The Nativity and Kiss of Judas. Crafted by Andrea di Jacopo d'Ognabene in 1316, this masterpiece spans several centuries from 1287 to 1456. The image captures a harmonious blend of religious symbolism and artistic craftsmanship. Within this section of the altar, one can observe scenes such as Jesus' birth in a stable surrounded by shepherds and animals while an angel hovers above. In contrast, another scene portrays Judas betraying Jesus with a kiss before his arrest by Roman soldiers. The use of silver adds an ethereal touch to these biblical narratives while showcasing Ognabene's mastery in metal handicraft. Every detail is meticulously carved into bas-reliefs that bring life to each character and event depicted. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork through Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are transported back to the trecento period when Italian art flourished during the Middle Ages. This print serves as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic excellence that continues to inspire awe today.
