EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable bas-relief located on the wall of the presbytery in the Basilica of Sant'Antonio, Padua. Created by Bartolomeo Bellano during the High Renaissance period, this exquisite artwork depicts the biblical scene of "Joseph sold by his brothers". The intricate details and craftsmanship showcased in this low relief are truly awe-inspiring. The figures are expertly carved, showcasing Bellano's mastery in capturing human emotions and expressions. Joseph, portrayed as a young man dressed in ancient costume, stands at the center of attention while surrounded by his envious brothers. The composition is further enhanced by its surroundings. The architectural structure behind them adds depth to the scene, symbolizing both stability and fragility. A gentle stream flows nearby, representing natural elements such as water and rock formations that have witnessed countless stories throughout history. Intriguingly, amidst this dramatic narrative lies a calf peacefully grazing on lush grass under a towering tree. This juxtaposition between innocence and betrayal creates an intriguing contrast within the artwork. As we delve into this masterpiece from centuries ago, it reminds us of our shared heritage and universal themes found within religious texts like the Bible's Old Testament. It serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural history during both Renaissance-Baroque periods. Captured sometime between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli using their impeccable photographic skills, this print allows us to appreciate Bellano's artistic genius even today. It invites viewers to reflect upon timeless tales passed down through generations while marveling at how art has transcended time itself. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by historical narratives depicted through visual mediums, this photograph offers a glimpse into one artist's interpretation of an age-old story – Joseph sold by his brothers – forever immortalized on these sacred walls in Padua's magnificent basilica.
