EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the Six Apostles, standing tall and proud on one side of the Church of Santa Maria della Spina in Pisa. Sculpted by followers of the renowned Giovanni Pisano, these statues are a testament to the skill and artistry of their creators. Perched atop each apostle is a delicate angel, seemingly guarding over them with grace and elegance. Atop them all stands the majestic figure of the Redeemer, his outstretched arms symbolizing salvation and divine love. The attention to detail in these sculptures is remarkable; every fold in their garments, every expression on their faces tells a story. Dating back to around 1323 AD, these sculptures transport us back to an ancient period where religion played a central role in people's lives. They serve as a visual representation of biblical stories from the New Testament, bringing alive moments from Christ's life for those who gaze upon them. The attire worn by these figures offers insight into fashion trends during that era - flowing robes draped gracefully over their bodies reflect both style and modesty. Each apostle exudes strength and devotion through their posture and facial expressions, reminding viewers of their significant roles within Christian religion. This photograph was taken between 1920-1930 AD by Brogi from Alinari. It serves as not only a historical document but also as an artistic masterpiece capturing Gothic architecture at its finest. As we admire this image today, we can appreciate how it encapsulates centuries worth of history while still maintaining its timeless allure.
