EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate bas relief on the lower basin of the Fontana Maggiore in Piazza IV Novembre, Perugia. The artwork, created between 1275 and 1277 by renowned artists Giovanni Pisano and Nicola Pisano, depicts an allegory of two months of the year along with their respective zodiac signs. The composition showcases a fascinating blend of Gothic and Middle Ages influences, representing Europe's rich artistic heritage from the first and second millennium A. D. The attention to detail is remarkable as each element is meticulously carved into the stone surface. In this mesmerizing scene, abstract concepts come to life through symbolic representations. The zodiac signs are depicted as fish, symbolizing vertebrates swimming gracefully amidst rock formations that represent geomorphological features found in nature. These natural elements create a harmonious backdrop for the allegorical figures. Dressed in fashionable headdresses and mantles, these figures embody time itself. They hold objects such as baskets which further emphasize their connection to specific months throughout the year. This portrayal beautifully encapsulates both the passing of time and its representation through various objects associated with different seasons. The photograph was taken around 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, capturing not only the timeless beauty of this artwork but also preserving it for future generations to appreciate. It serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries while showcasing Perugia's historical significance within European art history. Whether you are drawn to symbolism or fascinated by medieval artistry, this print offers a glimpse into an era where imagination flourished alongside technical skill – truly a treasure worth admiring.
