EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite exterior detail of the North Porte, also known as Porte de la Croix, located in Florence's Baptistery. The focal point of this image is the remarkable bronze sculpture titled "la Cene" (The Last Supper), created by the renowned artist Lorenzo Ghiberti in 1424. Ghiberti's mastery is evident in every intricate carving and delicate expression captured within this scene from biblical history. The sculpture depicts Jesus Christ and his apostles gathered around a table during their final meal together before his crucifixion. Each figure exudes a sense of reverence and emotion, beautifully conveying the weight of this significant moment. As we gaze upon this artwork through Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are transported back to the Quattrocento period, commonly referred to as the Italian Renaissance. This era was characterized by an intense focus on religious themes and a revival of classical art techniques. Ricciarini skillfully captures not only Ghiberti's masterpiece but also its surrounding architectural elements that enhance its grandeur. The play of light and shadow adds depth to each intricately carved detail, emphasizing their three-dimensional quality. This print serves as a testament to both Ghiberti's artistic genius and Ricciarini's ability to capture its essence through her lens. It invites us to appreciate not only the technical brilliance behind such masterpieces but also their enduring power to evoke emotions and inspire contemplation even centuries later.
