EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite high reliefs of "Prophets" created by Fra Guglielmo da Pisa for the Pulpit of the Church of Saint John Fuorcivitas in Pistoia. The intricate details and masterful craftsmanship are evident in this remarkable piece of Gothic art, which dates back to around 1270. The image transports us back to a bygone era, immersing us in the rich history of Europe during the Middle Ages. The prophets depicted here stand tall and proud, their expressions conveying wisdom and divine inspiration. Dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect the fashion and clothing styles of ancient times, they hold books and writing instruments symbolizing communication with a higher power. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but marvel at how these timeless works have survived through centuries, preserving stories from the Bible's Old Testament. Each prophet seems to come alive before our eyes, reminding us of their significant role as messengers between God and humanity. The photographer Brogi skillfully captured this moment around 1890, allowing us to appreciate both his artistry and his dedication to documenting historical treasures. Through his lens, he brings together past and present – bridging a gap spanning over a thousand years. This photograph serves as a testament not only to Fra Guglielmo da Pisa's artistic genius but also to the enduring power of religious faith throughout different periods in human history. It invites contemplation on our own place within this vast timeline while offering an opportunity for reflection on spirituality that transcends time itself.
