EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite detail of the "Virtue of Temperance" sculpture, which is part of the Tomb of Saint Peter. Created in 1336 by renowned artist Balduccio Giovanni, this marble masterpiece can be found at Chiesa di Sant Eusebio in Peglio, Como, Lombardy, Italy. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating this stunning piece. The Virtue of Temperance is depicted as a female figure carved out of Carrara marble, standing gracefully atop a red marble coffer. With an elegant jug in her hand and water flowing from it, she personifies temperance - the virtue of self-control and moderation. Surrounded by other statues adorning the tomb's facade, this particular sculpture stands out with its delicate features and lifelike expression. The play between light and shadow further enhances its beauty and adds depth to every curve and contour. This detailed close-up allows us to appreciate not only the technical skill involved but also the emotional impact that such artwork can have on viewers. It serves as a reminder of our own capacity for self-restraint and balance in life. Photographed by eMauro Ranzani, this image preserves an important piece of Italian art history while showcasing Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving cultural heritage through their fine art collection.
