EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of art that tells a timeless biblical story. The bas-relief, created by Bartolomeo Bellano, depicts the tragic scene of "Cain killing Abel" with astonishing detail and emotion. Located on the wall of a presbytery in the Basilica of Sant'Antonio in Padua, Italy, this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. The photograph was taken around 1920-1930, showcasing the enduring beauty and significance of this masterpiece even after centuries have passed since its creation between 1484-1488. Bellano's work represents the High Renaissance style, which seamlessly combines elements from both Renaissance and Baroque periods. In this image, we see various elements that add depth to the composition. A calf stands nearby as an innocent witness to Cain's heinous act while lush vegetation surrounds them. The presence of water and rocks further enhances the natural setting portrayed in this bas-relief. The figures are dressed in ancient costumes typical of their time period, adding authenticity to their portrayal. Cain is depicted as a male figure holding a staff or cane while Abel lies lifeless at his feet. This photograph not only showcases Bellano's artistic skill but also highlights Europe's rich cultural heritage during the first and second millenniums AD. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and continue to captivate viewers for generations to come. Captured by Alinari Fratelli from Alinari, this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail present in Bellano's masterpiece without being physically present at Padua Basilica of Sant'Antonio.
