EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a floor gravestone found in the historic Church of Sant'Agostino in Pietrasanta, located in the picturesque province of Lucca, Versilia. The church itself is steeped in rich history and architectural beauty, making it an ideal setting for this remarkable piece of art. The slab featured in the photograph dates back to the late Renaissance period, specifically around 1560. It represents a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods that were prevalent throughout Europe during that time. Upon closer inspection, one can appreciate the intricate details etched onto the stone surface. An inscription stands out prominently, serving as a written instrument communicating with those who come across it. Surrounding this writing are acanthus leaves - herbaceous plants known for their ornamental value - which add a touch of natural elegance to the composition. Furthermore, various vegetal elements such as trees and briers intertwine gracefully with ribbons, wreaths, garlands, crests, emblems, and brands. These symbols represent not only decorative motifs but also reflect heraldic ornamentation commonly seen during the late Renaissance era. The photograph itself was captured by Brogi from Alinari between 1920-1930 approximately. Its timeless appeal transports viewers back to an era where craftsmanship flourished and artistic expression thrived. In essence, this print serves as a window into history; it encapsulates both cultural significance and aesthetic beauty within its frame. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by historical artifacts like this floor gravestone from Sant'Agostino Church in Pietrasanta – there is no denying its allure.
