EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bas-relief tondo with the profiles of Romulus and Remus, adorning the façade detail of the Carthusian monastery of Pavia. The intricate craftsmanship on display here is a testament to both High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, transporting us back to Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. Taken around 1890 by Brogi from Alinari, this photograph captures not only an exquisite piece of art but also provides insights into various aspects of history. The attention to detail in depicting these legendary figures is truly awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon their regal profiles, it becomes evident that every strand of hairdo has been meticulously carved, reflecting the fashion and clothing trends prevalent during that era. Romulus and Remus hold immense significance as they are considered the founders of Rome itself. Their origins lie in ancient populations whose monarchy shaped much of Roman history. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of their enduring legacy. The fusion between High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles seen in this bas-relief tondo exemplifies the artistic evolution taking place during this period in Europe. It encapsulates both classical elements harkening back to antiquity while embracing more ornate embellishments characteristic of Baroque aesthetics. As we delve deeper into this photograph's historical context, it transports us further into XVI century Italy when this masterpiece was created. Its presence at the Carthusian monastery adds another layer to its significance – blending religious devotion with artistic expression. Brogi's expert lens beautifully captures all these nuances within one frame, allowing us to appreciate not just an artwork but also unravel layers upon layers of history embedded within it.
