EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing detail of the Monument of Pope Pius V, located in the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. The focal point is a bas-relief depicting the historic Battle of Lepanto, framed between two majestic caryatids made of marble. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in this artwork created by Nicholas said Pippi Flemish and Gillis de la Riviere during the late 16th century. The relief showcases a female figure representing an allegory or abstract concept, symbolizing strength and resilience. The composition also includes elements of architecture with its decorative building sections, adding to the grandeur and significance of this masterpiece. A ship adorned with arms, armor, and military equipment stands prominently amidst a turbulent sea landscape (seascape), capturing the intensity and drama of battle. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are transported back to Europe during the Renaissance-Baroque period when conflicts shaped nations' destinies. The Battle of Lepanto was fought between Christian forces led by Don Juan de Austria against Ottoman Empire fleets on October 7th, 1571. Through Alinari's lens, we can appreciate both the artistic brilliance behind this low relief as well as its historical importance. This image serves as a testament to human creativity and our eternal quest for understanding our past. Whether you admire it for its baroque aesthetics or ponder upon its symbolic representation within art history, this print invites us to reflect on centuries-old events that have shaped our world today.
