EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of a chapel nestled along one of the two side aisles in the Church of Saint Francis of Assisi, located in Palermo. The church itself is a magnificent testament to various architectural styles and periods, including Early Renaissance, Renaissance, and Renaissance-Baroque. Dating back to around 1890, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an artwork from the 15th century. It showcases an allegory that represents abstract concepts and symbols through different types of representations. Among these are animals such as oxen, eagles, lions, as well as figures like angels and archangel Gabriel. These elements evoke themes related to life and representations of the Virgin Mary. The image also reveals intriguing details about fashion during that era with depictions of putti adorned in religious clothing. Additionally, vegetal elements or compositions can be observed festooning the chapel's interior. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative captured by Brogi for Alinari, it becomes evident that biblical references play a significant role within this artwork. The four evangelists - St. John, Mark, Matthew, and Luke - are depicted here alongside scenes from the New Testament. Overall, this print transports us back in time to experience not only the architectural grandeur but also provides insights into artistic expressions prevalent during early Renaissance Europe. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been intertwined with religion and literature throughout history while showcasing Brogi's talent for capturing timeless moments through his lens.
