EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a magnificent marble altarpiece that resides in the Chapel of San Clemente, within the grandeur of St. Mark's Basilica in Venice. The altarpiece is a true testament to the artistic mastery of the Early Renaissance, Renaissance, and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The upper part of this exquisite masterpiece showcases a bas-relief attributed to Pyrgoteles depicting the Madonna and Child. They are gracefully flanked by statues of two revered saints: St. Mark and St. Bernardino. The intricate details on each figure highlight their divine presence, evoking a sense of awe-inspiring spirituality. In the lower section, we witness an enchanting scene where three prominent saints - St. Andrew, St. Jacob, and St. Nicholas - are being worshipped by none other than Doge Andrea Gritti himself. This portrayal symbolizes both religious devotion and political power intertwining harmoniously during that era. The artist behind this extraordinary work is Pirgoteles (also known as Lascaris or Giovanni Giorgio), whose talent shines through every delicate stroke carved into the marble canvas. Dating back to the 15th century (XV sec. ), this altarpiece has stood as an enduring testament to faith for centuries past while continuing to captivate visitors with its timeless beauty today. Through Alinari's lens around 1900 AD. , we have been granted a glimpse into this remarkable piece of art history – one that seamlessly blends elements from different epochs into a harmonious whole. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Alinari Fratelli's collection, let us marvel at how it encapsulates not only religious devotion but also cultural significance spanning across Europe throughout the first and second millenniums A. D.
