EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of art known as "Relief with the four Evangelists" by Giovanni di Turino, which is housed in the magnificent Siena Cathedral. Dating back to the 14th century, this low relief bas-relief showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of medieval Europe during the first and second millennium. The image portrays an intricately designed lectern cabinet adorned with various elements symbolizing religious significance. Atop this masterpiece stands a majestic eagle, representing divinity and wisdom. Surrounding it are four distinct figures representing the evangelists - St. John, St. Mark, St. Luke, and St. Paul - each depicted alongside their respective animal symbols: an ox for Luke, a lion for Mark, an angel for Matthew (not visible in this particular shot), and an eagle for John. Every detail on this relief exudes elegance and precision; from the delicate feathers of the birds to the intricate drapery adorning each figure's costume. The artist's mastery shines through as he brings these ancient biblical characters to life within his work. Alinari Fratelli captured this stunning photograph around 1890 when photography was still in its early stages but already proving itself as a medium capable of preserving history indefinitely. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a time where art served not only as decoration but also as a powerful means of storytelling and spiritual connection. This relic from Siena Cathedral reminds us of our rich cultural heritage rooted in Christian religion during the Middle Ages in Europe. Let us cherish such masterpieces that bridge past eras with our present-day understanding while appreciating Alinari Fratelli's contribution in immortalizing them through their lens.
