EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of "The Seven Works of Mercy, dress the denudes" by Santi Buglioni. Created between 1526 and 1528, this low terracotta relief is housed in the Ospedale del Ceppo in Pistoia, Italy. The artwork depicts one of the corporal works of mercy: clothing the naked. It showcases a scene from Christian teachings where a young girl generously offers her garment to a beggar woman. The composition beautifully portrays themes of generosity, poverty, and virtue that were prevalent during the Renaissance period. Buglioni's craftsmanship shines through in this polychrome terracotta piece. The delicate carving and attention to detail bring life to each figure depicted on the frieze. This work is believed to be created under Della Robbia's workshop influence, further adding to its historical significance. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures every aspect of this masterpiece through her lens. Her photograph allows viewers to appreciate not only Buglioni's artistry but also highlights its moral and religious implications within Catholicism. This image serves as a reminder of our duty towards those less fortunate and encourages us to practice acts of charity and compassion in our own lives. Through Ricciarini's lens, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen forever in clay – a testament to both artistic excellence and human kindness.
