EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, taken in 1854, showcases a replica of Michelangelo's renowned Monument of Lorenzo de Medici, housed in the Crystal Palace in London. The original sculpture, located in the Capella dei Medici at Florence's Church of San Lorenzo, is a masterpiece of the Renaissance era. The central figure of this monument is Lorenzo de Medici himself, affectionately known as 'Il Magnifico' or 'Il Pensiero,' which translates to 'The Thought.' Lorenzo's serene expression and reclining posture exude wisdom and contemplation. The pediment of the monument is adorned with two reclining figures, symbolizing Twilight and Dawn. The female figure representing Dawn is depicted with great power and grace, symbolizing the rebirth of new ideas and the beginning of a new day. Despite being a replica, the unfinished state of the figures on the pediment is a testament to Michelangelo's unparalleled genius. The original sculpture, like this one, left the figures incomplete, allowing the viewer's imagination to fill in the gaps. As art critic James Forsyth noted in the Illustrated London News in 1854, "so sacred is the terror of Michael's genius, that these statues remain untouched and inviolate, in the midst of restorers who are daily trifling with the sculpture of antiquity." This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of Michelangelo's masterpiece, even as a replica in a foreign land.
