EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite fresco titled "Music making angels" created by Melozzo da Forli in around 1480. The artwork, originally from the basilica of the Holy Apostles in Rome, Italy, has been beautifully restored and is now housed in the Vatican Museums and Galleries. In this enchanting scene, a group of angelic figures can be seen engaged in celestial music-making. With delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Melozzo da Forli captures their ethereal beauty as they play various musical instruments including violins. The artist's mastery of perspective adds depth to the composition, transporting viewers into a heavenly realm filled with harmonious melodies. As one explores this remarkable piece from the quattrocento period of Renaissance art, it becomes evident that music holds great significance within religious contexts. These angelic musicians symbolize divine harmony and serve as messengers connecting earthly realms with spiritual dimensions. The photograph itself is expertly captured by Stefano Baldini, who skillfully preserves every intricate detail of this magnificent fresco. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate not only Melozzo da Forli's artistic genius but also experience a sense of awe-inspiring spirituality that emanates from these celestial beings. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us beyond our mortal existence and into realms where music intertwines with divinity. It invites us to contemplate our own connection with higher forces through the universal language of melody and rhythm.
