EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Antonio Cicognari, an illuminator from the late 15th century. The image captures a detailed portion of an antiphonary, specifically the Saint John the Baptist Lettrine. Created in 1483 and found within the Cremone choral 4, capitolo del duomo in Lombardy, Italy, this illuminated letter is a testament to both religious devotion and artistic skill. The intricate design features a radiant aureole surrounding the initial letter "S" representing Saint John himself. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring life to this sacred music manuscript. As one gazes upon this masterpiece, it becomes evident that every stroke was carefully executed with reverence for both God and art. Antonio Cicognari's talent shines through in his ability to seamlessly blend elements of portraiture and illumination. This detail transports us back to the Middle Ages when such manuscripts were treasured possessions for churches and monasteries. Luisa Ricciarini's photograph allows us to appreciate not only Cicognari's work but also her own keen eye for capturing its beauty. Through her lens, we are transported into a world where religion meets artistry, where each stroke on parchment tells a story of faith. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured by Luisa Ricciarini's lens, we are reminded of how art has always played an integral role in expressing our deepest beliefs and connecting us with something greater than ourselves –
