EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The quadrant of the Clock Tower in Bern" created by Kaspar Brunnen between 1527 and 1530. Located next to the astronomic clock, a newstand adorned with intricate statuettes adds an enchanting touch to this architectural masterpiece. What makes it even more fascinating is that these statuettes come alive four minutes before each hour, thanks to the clock's mechanism. The image captures the essence of both Renaissance and Baroque styles, highlighting their influence on this stunning piece of art. The sundial and time measurement instruments remind us of how important time was during that era, while also showcasing the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent at the time. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a movable modern work that seamlessly blends sculpture with functionality. The shrine-like structure surrounding the clock emphasizes its significance as a symbol of time representation within European culture. Giorgio Sommer's expert photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Brunnen's creation. From the zodiac symbols adorning its face to each delicate statue positioned around it, this image encapsulates not only a historical artifact but also an artistic marvel. Bridgeman Images' fine art finder has once again provided us with a visual treasure that celebrates history, architecture, sculpture, and photography all in one frame.
