EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Buglioni's "The Seven Works of Mercy, shelter the homeless" low terracotta relief. The artwork, located at Ospedale del Ceppo in Pistoia, Italy, depicts a scene of physical misericorde where pilgrims seek refuge. The intricate polychrome terracotta relief stockings by Santi Buglioni (also known as Santi di Michele) were created between 1526 and 1528 in the Della Robbia workshop. The frieze on display at Spedale del Ceppo beautifully captures the essence of Christian virtues such as generosity and charity. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of helping those less fortunate and embracing our shared humanity. The detailed carving brings to life the struggles faced by beggars and vagabonds during the Renaissance period. With its religious undertones, this artwork reflects not only Catholicism but also explores themes of poverty and equity within society. It is a testament to Buglioni's skill as an artist that he was able to convey such complex emotions through his work. Luisa Ricciarini's expertly captured photograph allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail of this masterpiece from the comfort of their own homes. This image serves as a powerful reminder that even centuries later, art continues to inspire us with its ability to evoke empathy and compassion for those in need.
