EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Seven Works of Mercy, shelter the homeless" a low terracotta relief created by Santi Buglioni in 1526-1528. The artwork can be found at Ospedale del Ceppo in Pistoia, Italy. Buglioni's masterpiece depicts the seven acts of corporal mercy, with a particular focus on providing shelter to those without homes. The intricate polychrome terracotta relief is attributed to Santi Buglioni and his workshop under Della Robbia. It beautifully captures the essence of Christian charity and generosity during the Renaissance period. In this scene, we witness an array of individuals from different walks of life coming together to offer assistance to those experiencing homelessness. The composition portrays clergy members alongside ordinary people extending their hands towards beggars and vagabonds in need. This portrayal emphasizes not only the importance of religious virtue but also highlights the universal human duty to care for one another. Through its detailed carving and masterful execution, this artwork serves as a powerful reminder that poverty knows no boundaries or time periods. It speaks volumes about societal issues such as precariousness and penury that persist even today. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable piece while capturing its profound message about compassion and empathy towards our fellow human beings in times of hardship.
