EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning piece of art, an altar adorned with intricate details and religious symbolism. Created by the School of Luca della Robbia, this masterpiece can be found in the Chapel of the Cross, located within the Sanctuary of S. Maria all'Impruneta in Florence. The focal point of this altar is undoubtedly the Crucifixion scene at its center, depicting Jesus Christ on the cross. Flanking either side are figures of St. John and St. Romulus, adding to the solemnity and reverence of this sacred space. Above them hover angels holding a scroll, perhaps conveying messages from heaven or offering prayers on behalf of worshippers. Crafted using majolica technique, a type of glazed pottery popular during that era, this artwork showcases exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The terracotta material gives it a distinct texture while enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal. Dating back to around 1400-1482 during the Early Renaissance period in Europe, this altarpiece represents both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles seamlessly blended together. Its historical significance cannot be overstated as it stands as a testament to artistic excellence during that time. As we gaze upon this photograph taken between 1915-1920 by Alinari Fratelli (a renowned Italian photography studio), we are transported back centuries ago when religion played an integral role in people's lives. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich cultural heritage but also invites us to contemplate our own spiritual journey. Luca della Robbia's work continues to inspire awe even today through his mastery over sculpture and his ability to convey profound religious narratives through artistry alone. This photograph allows us to appreciate his genius from afar while preserving its beauty for generations to come
