EDITORS COMMENTS
Sphere Within Sphere" is a captivating bronze sculpture created by the Italian artist Arnaldo Pomodoro in the 20th century. Born in 1926, Pomodoro is known for his innovative and thought-provoking works that often explore the relationship between mathematics and art. This particular sculpture, which can be found in the Cortile della Pigna (Courtyard of the Pineapple) of the Vatican Museums in Vatican City, is a prime example of his artistic vision. The title "Sphere Within Sphere" refers to the intriguing composition of the piece, which features two spheres nestled within each other. The larger sphere, with a rough, textured surface, envelops the smaller, smoother sphere. The juxtaposition of these two spheres creates a sense of depth and complexity, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay of form and texture. The sculpture's placement in the Cortile della Pigna, a beautiful outdoor space adorned with ancient Roman columns and lush greenery, adds to its allure. The historical significance of the Vatican Museums, which house an extensive collection of art and historical artifacts, further enhances the sculpture's context and meaning. "Sphere Within Sphere" is a testament to Pomodoro's mastery of the medium of bronze and his ability to create a work of art that transcends its physical form. The sculpture invites viewers to explore the mathematical concepts that underpin its creation, while also offering a visually stunning and thought-provoking experience. Pomodoro's "Sphere Within Sphere" is a must-see for anyone visiting the Vatican Museums and a significant addition to the contemporary art collection of this historic institution.
