EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of art that once adorned the Basilica of Sant'Antonio in Padua. The focal point is a bas-relief by Andrea Briosco, also known as Riccio, depicting "The Burial of Christ in the tomb". This exquisite artwork was created between 1507 and 1515 during the High Renaissance period. The bas-relief, beautifully carved into stone, showcases intricate details that bring this biblical scene to life. It depicts mourners gently placing Jesus' body inside the sepulchre while others look on with sorrowful expressions. The composition is framed by natural elements such as rocks and mountains, adding depth to the overall portrayal. Located to the left of the altar in the Basilica's presbytery, this candelabrum decoration adds an air of reverence to its surroundings. Its presence serves as a reminder of Christ's sacrifice and invites contemplation within those who visit this holy place. Captured sometime around 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, this photograph preserves not only Briosco's masterpiece but also offers us a glimpse into European art history during different periods - from High Renaissance to Renaissance-Baroque styles. As we admire this print today, we are reminded of both its artistic significance and its spiritual symbolism. It stands as a testament to human creativity and devotion throughout centuries past. Whether one appreciates it for its historical value or finds solace in contemplating religious themes depicted within it, "The Burial of Christ in the tomb" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty.
