EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing bas-relief sketch of the Last Judgement, created by the masterful hands of Bernini. The artwork resides within the sacred walls of the Church of S. Maria in Trastevere, Rome, emanating an aura of divine power and spiritual contemplation. Dating back to the 17th century, this preliminary sketch showcases Bernini's exceptional talent in blending both Baroque and Renaissance styles seamlessly. Every intricate detail is meticulously carved into low relief, bringing life to theological subjects that have fascinated humanity for centuries. In this particular scene depicted by Bernini, an angelic figure stands amidst a grand sepulchre adorned with elaborate structures and symbols. The subject matter revolves around the profound concept of the Last Judgement - a momentous event described in biblical texts from the New Testament. The artist's attention to clothing and fashion becomes evident as he skillfully portrays draped garments flowing gracefully around human figures. Even though some parts are left nude, every contour highlights both beauty and vulnerability inherent in our mortal existence. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art through Anderson's lens circa 1890s, we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless allure. It serves as a testament not only to Bernini's genius but also to Europe's rich artistic heritage during both the first and second millenniums AD. Through this photograph print from Alinari, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how art can transcend generations while evoking deep emotions within us all.
