EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of Saint Christina's Tomb in the Church of Saint Christina in Bolsena. The focal point is a beautifully crafted statue of the saint, made from painted terracotta, resting gracefully on top of the sarcophagus. The tomb itself represents a fusion of artistic styles and periods, including Early Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque, and European influences from both the first and second millenniums A. D. Its creation dates back to the 15th century (XV sec. ), with Benedetto Buglioni being credited as its talented artist. In this photograph taken between 1915-1920 approximately by Brogi for Alinari, we are presented with an array of symbolic elements that add depth to this artwork. The presence of birds, particularly a majestic peacock perched nearby, alludes to allegorical concepts such as death and abstract ideas. Saint Christina herself is depicted as a female figure embodying Christian religious devotion. Surrounding her are vine shrubs and vegetation that symbolize growth and renewal within faith. The inclusion of briers further emphasizes this vegetal theme while adding texture to the composition. Every element within this artwork serves a purpose in expressing profound spiritual concepts associated with early Renaissance art. Brogi's skilled photography captures every minute detail with precision and clarity. This print allows viewers to appreciate not only Buglioni's craftsmanship but also offers insight into how art can convey complex messages through visual symbolism. Overall, "Detail of Saint Christina's Tomb" provides us with an intimate glimpse into one corner of Bolsena Church—a testament to human creativity spanning centuries—and invites contemplation on timeless themes central to our existence.
