EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of a glazed terra cotta artwork by Giovanni della Robbia. Titled "Virgin and Child between the Saints James and Dominic" this masterpiece dates back to 1522, showcasing the timeless talent of its creator. The image transports us to Florence, specifically Via della Scala, Caserma Simoni, where this remarkable piece is located. Its vibrant colors and intricate details are expertly captured by Alinari in their edition of this photograph from 1870-1880. At the center of the composition stands the Virgin Mary cradling baby Jesus Christ in her arms. The purity and tenderness expressed through their figures evoke a sense of awe and reverence. Flanking them on either side are Saint James the Elder and Saint Dominic, two prominent apostles who played significant roles in Christian religion. Surrounding these central figures are various symbolic elements that further enrich the artwork's meaning. A lily represents purity while vegetation symbolizes life itself. A book signifies knowledge or scripture, while a cane or staff may allude to authority or leadership. Through this allegorical representation, Della Robbia skillfully intertwines religious symbolism with artistic expression. The Madonna and Child with Saints theme was popular during his time as it allowed for exploration of different aspects related to biblical stories. Alinari's meticulous attention to detail ensures that every nuance is preserved within this print – allowing viewers today to appreciate both Della Robbia's craftsmanship from centuries ago as well as Alinari's own artistry in capturing its essence through photography.
