EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of a bronze candelabrum, specifically focusing on the delicate details of its arm. Created by the skilled hands of Annibale Fontana, this masterpiece can be found in the left transept of the Church of the Certosa in Pavia. The candelabrum itself is a stunning example of Mannerism, showcasing elements from both Renaissance and Baroque styles. Its creation dates back to 1580, making it an exquisite relic from Europe's rich artistic history during the First and Second Millennium A. D. In this particular detail captured by Alinari, Fratelli in 1928, our attention is drawn to a charming putto figure adorning the candelabrum. This child-like nude figure adds a touch of whimsy amidst its surroundings. The presence of a harpy - a hybrid creature from mythology - further enhances its mythical allure. As we explore further into this enchanting composition, we notice acanthus leaves gracefully intertwining with herbaceous plants and vegetation. These vegetal elements form festoons that elegantly cascade down like wreaths around the candelabrum's arm. Alinari's masterful photography allows us to appreciate every intricate detail with clarity and precision. Through their lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand this remarkable fusion between Greco-Roman influences and Renaissance-Baroque artistry. This photograph serves as not only a visual delight but also as an homage to Annibale Fontana's exceptional craftsmanship. It reminds us that art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends time and continues to inspire generations even centuries after its creation.
