EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a masterpiece of the Early Renaissance period, showcasing a glazed terracotta roundel by the renowned artist Luca Della Robbia. The roundel depicts Saint Marc the Evangelist and is ingeniously placed in one of the pendentives adorning the dome of the Pazz Chapel in Florence. The image transports us back to fifteenth-century Europe, where artistic brilliance flourished. Della Robbia's meticulous craftsmanship is evident as he brings to life this ancient biblical figure. Saint Marc stands tall, exuding an aura of wisdom and devotion. Clad in a magnificent mantle cloak, his attire reflects the fashion and clothing style prevalent during that era. The lion beside him symbolizes strength and courage, embodying an allegory often associated with this evangelist. It serves as a powerful representation of Saint Marc's role in spreading Christianity through his writings found in the New Testament. The photograph itself was taken around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli, capturing not only Della Robbia's artwork but also preserving its historical significance for generations to come. The attention to detail showcased here allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved and its preservation over time. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where religious devotion intertwines with artistic expression. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been intertwined with spirituality throughout history – providing solace, inspiration, and enlightenment for those who encounter it. In conclusion, this photograph immortalizes Luca Della Robbia's remarkable creation within its frame – an exquisite example of early Renaissance artistry that continues to captivate viewers even today.
