EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of a confessional in carved wood, located within the Church of San Bernardo in Vercelli. The confessional itself is a remarkable example of Late Baroque, Baroque, and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that flourished throughout Europe during the First and Second Millennium A. D. The craftsmanship evident in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail has been meticulously carved into the wood, showcasing an array of building elements, decorations, and sections. The tympanum above the confessional features an angelic figure surrounded by putti, adding a touch of heavenly charm to this sacred space. As one's gaze wanders through this image, it becomes apparent that literature and fiction have also found their place within this religious setting. A statue stands proudly beside the confessional—a work of sculpture that exudes both grace and strength. Surrounding it are herbaceous plants with lush foliage intertwined with acanthus leaves—an emblematic motif often seen in late baroque art. Dating back to 1692 according to records associated with this artwork's creation date, its historical significance cannot be understated. This photograph was taken sometime between 1920-1930 when Alinari Fratelli captured its timeless allure for posterity. Alinari's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind this wooden masterpiece but also offers a glimpse into European history spanning several centuries. It serves as a reminder of how architecture can transcend time while providing solace for those seeking spiritual guidance within these hallowed walls.
