EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable bas-relief that adorns the wall of the presbytery in the Basilica of Sant'Antonio, Padua. Created by the talented artist Bartolomeo Bellano, this masterpiece depicts "The Crossing of the Red Sea" with astonishing detail and precision. Dating back to 1484-1488 during the High Renaissance period, this bas-relief showcases Bellano's mastery in capturing both human emotions and natural elements. The scene portrays Moses leading his people through tumultuous waters as they escape from their oppressors. The soldiers on horseback are depicted with great strength and determination, while Moses stands tall at the forefront, guiding his people towards freedom. The composition is enriched by various natural elements such as towering trees and rocky formations that add depth to the artwork. The sun shines brightly above them all, symbolizing hope and divine intervention in this biblical event. Bellano's use of low relief technique brings life to every figure present in this artwork. From animals like horses to human figures including soldiers and men following Moses' lead, each character is meticulously carved into stone with incredible realism. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary moment captured forever on these walls. This bas-relief not only represents a significant religious event but also serves as a testament to European art history during both Renaissance-Baroque periods. Today, visitors can still admire this magnificent work within the Basilica of Sant'Antonio - a testament to Bellano's artistic genius that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
