EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of a glazed terracotta lunette depicting the Madonna and Child with Saints Christina and George. The artwork is located in the middle portal of the Saint Christine Collegiate Church in Bolsena, Italy. Dating back to the 15th century, this stunning piece showcases elements from various artistic periods including Early Renaissance, Renaissance, and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Created by Benedetto Buglioni, a renowned artist of his time, this terracotta masterpiece exemplifies exquisite craftsmanship. The composition features the graceful figure of Madonna holding baby Jesus tenderly in her arms while surrounded by Saints Christina and George. Each character is meticulously sculpted with remarkable attention to detail, showcasing their flowing garments and delicate facial expressions. Saint George stands tall beside Madonna, adorned in armor symbolizing his military background as he holds a spear. Meanwhile, Saint Christina gazes lovingly at baby Jesus while dressed elegantly in period costume. The high relief sculpture brings these figures to life against a backdrop of architectural elements that enhance their divine presence within the lunette. This work serves as an important representation of Christian religious art during the early Renaissance period. Captured between 1915-1920 by Brogi from Alinari's collection, this photograph preserves not only Buglioni's exceptional creation but also provides us with a glimpse into European history spanning over two millennia. It reminds us of our rich cultural heritage and invites contemplation on themes such as faith, motherhood, devotion, and artistic expression across different eras.
