EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Pope Sixtus IV appoints Bartolomeo Sacchi, also known as Bartolome Platina, as the Curator of the Vatican Bibliotheque in 1475. Kneeling before the Pope with humility and reverence, Sacchi is surrounded by prominent figures such as Cardinal Giuliano della Rovere (future Pope Julius II) and Prothonotary Apostolic Raffaele Sansoni Riario della Rovere.
The scene depicted in this stunning fresco by Marco Melozzo Da Forli in 1477 showcases the grandeur and power of the papal court during that era. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this momentous occasion, highlighting the importance of knowledge and scholarship within the Vatican.
As we gaze upon this masterpiece housed in the Pinacoteca of the Vatican, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal event that shaped religious and intellectual pursuits. The composition of figures, each with their own role and significance, adds depth and complexity to this historical narrative.
Through this photo print, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage preserved within these walls and how art can immortalize moments that would otherwise be lost to time. It serves as a testament to human achievement and creativity throughout centuries past.
