EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the St Ambrose or Golden altar, located in the Basilica of Sant Ambrogio in Milan. The front of this magnificent altar is adorned with embossed gold work, created by the talented goldsmith Vuolvino (also known as Volvinio) and his studio between 824-860. The intricate reliefs sculpted by Vuolvino depict various scenes from the life of Christ, adding a profound spiritual dimension to this masterpiece. The golden carvings shine brilliantly against the dark background, creating a mesmerizing contrast that draws viewers into its divine aura. Dating back to the 9th century, this altar represents an important piece of religious art from medieval times. Its significance lies not only in its exquisite craftsmanship but also in its role as a sacred object within the Basilica Sant Ambrogio. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography captures every detail and nuance of this remarkable artwork. Through her lens, we can appreciate both the grandeur and delicate intricacy of each panel on this high altar. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the devotion and reverence that inspired such masterpieces during Italy's rich artistic heritage. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and our enduring quest for spiritual connection through art and religion.
