EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of a bas-relief artwork by Antonio Rizzo, located in the Church of Sant'Anastasia in Verona. The focal point of the image is two putti, delicately carved figures that appear to come to life as they hold a shield with great strength and grace. The craftsmanship displayed in this early Renaissance masterpiece is truly remarkable. Rizzo's attention to detail is evident in every element portrayed within the composition. The putti are adorned in armor, showcasing their military prowess while also wearing headdresses that reflect their civilian status. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of the time, adding an additional layer of historical significance. Amidst these symbolic figures stands a religious accessory - an ivy climbing plant intertwining with a trunk-like vegetal element or composition. This combination represents growth and vitality, perhaps signifying spiritual enlightenment within the context of religion. A torch held by one of the putti adds another dimension to this artwork, symbolizing knowledge and illumination. It serves as a reminder that even amidst darkness, there is always hope and guidance available. The shield itself bears various emblems and crests associated with early Renaissance heraldic ornamentation. These elements further emphasize its importance as both a protective tool and representation of identity or lineage. Dating back to 1465-1498 ca. , this bas-relief exemplifies not only Rizzo's artistic talent but also showcases Europe's rich cultural heritage during this period marked by both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured this timeless piece through their lens in 1965, allowing us today to appreciate its beauty from afar while immersing ourselves in history through artistry.
