EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of Tullio Lombardo's bas-reliefs in the Giustiniani chapel, located within the Church of San Francesco della Vigna in Venice. The image showcases two prophets, St. John, St. Mark, and various episodes from the life of Christ depicted in exquisite detail. The bas-reliefs are a testament to Lombardo's mastery as an artist during the Late Renaissance period. The craftsmanship is evident in every element, from the delicate expressions on each figure's face to their meticulously carved garments and accessories. The subjects come alive through this low relief technique, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in scenes from both the Old and New Testaments. Amongst these religious figures are seraphs with majestic wingspans and angels with heavenly countenances. A prominent figure is St. John the Evangelist, identifiable by his attribute - an eagle - symbolizing his divine inspiration. St. Mark can also be seen holding a book or scroll representing his role as one of Christianity's four evangelists. Lombardo's attention to detail extends beyond human forms; animals such as lions make appearances alongside these revered individuals, adding depth and symbolism to each composition. The photograph itself was taken around 1900 but captures artwork created between 1495-1510 during a time when Renaissance-Baroque styles were prevalent throughout Europe. Through this stunning visual representation captured by Alinari Fratelli using their expertise in photography as a means of communication, we are transported back centuries ago into a world where art served not only as decoration but also as a powerful medium for conveying religious narratives and inspiring devotion among believers.
