EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of a glazed terracotta medallion depicting St. Mark the Evangelist, created by the renowned artist Andrea della Robbia. The medallion is housed in the historic Church of Santa Maria delle Carceri in Prato, Italy. Dating back to around 1490 during the Late Renaissance period, this artwork showcases a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. It stands as a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage spanning over two millennia. The focal point of this composition is undoubtedly St. Mark himself, depicted with meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship. Clad in religious attire that reflects the fashion and clothing trends of his time, he exudes an aura of divine wisdom and devotion. Surrounded by celestial clouds symbolizing his spiritual significance, St. Mark holds an open Bible from the New Testament—a powerful allegory for his role as an evangelist spreading Christian teachings. Adding further intrigue to this masterpiece is a majestic lion positioned at St. Mark's side—an iconic representation often associated with this saint throughout art history. This animal embodies courage and strength while serving as a metaphorical guardian for those who follow St. Mark's teachings. The photographer Alinari has skillfully captured every intricate detail and nuance present within this artwork through their lens circa 1900—allowing viewers today to appreciate its timeless allure. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the genius of Andrea della Robbia and marvel at how art can transcend centuries—touching our souls with its profound symbolism and aesthetic brilliance.
