EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art, the "Candelabrum for the Easter candle" found in the historic church of S. Domenico Maggiore in Naples. Dating back to the late Renaissance period, this masterpiece is an exquisite blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The focal point of this candelabrum lies in its intricately decorated base, adorned with personifications of the Virtues. Each female figure represents an abstract concept and symbolizes a specific virtue, embodying moral excellence and righteousness. Surrounding them are playful putti figures, adding a touch of innocence and charm to the composition. The artist's attention to detail is evident as they skillfully sculpted each figure with precision and grace. The childlike nudity adds vulnerability while emphasizing purity and innocence within these allegorical representations. An amphora-like object sits atop the candelabrum's crest, further enhancing its grandeur. This emblematic ornament serves as a testament to European culture during both the first and second millenniums AD. Captured between 1879-1910 by Brogi from Alinari, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also preserves history itself. It transports us back to XIV century Naples when this magnificent artwork was created in 1585. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of how art transcends time; it connects us with our past while inspiring future generations. The Candelabrum for the Easter candle stands as a testament to human creativity throughout different artistic periods - Late Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque - showcasing Europe's rich cultural heritage. Let us cherish such masterpieces that continue to captivate our hearts centuries later – reminding us that virtues like faith, hope, love endure through time just like great works of art do.
