EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite Saint Christina's tomb in all its glory, situated within the Church of Saint Christina in Bolsena. The tomb itself is a remarkable sight, consisting of a beautifully crafted sarcophagus adorned with intricate details and carvings. Resting upon this sacred structure lies the painted terracotta statue of Saint Christina, her serene expression radiating an aura of divinity. The photograph showcases the seamless blend of artistic styles and periods that influenced this magnificent piece. From Early Renaissance to Renaissance-Baroque, every brushstroke and sculptural element tells a story of European artistry spanning centuries. The artwork itself dates back to the 15th century, showcasing Benedetto Buglioni's undeniable talent as an artist. As we delve deeper into the composition, various symbolic elements come to life. Birds take flight around the tomb, symbolizing freedom and spirituality. Among them stands a majestic peacock, representing immortality and resurrection—a powerful allegory for Saint Christina's legacy. Saint Christina herself is depicted as a female figure embodying grace and devotion—a testament to her unwavering faith in Christian religion. Surrounding her are vines and shrubs intertwined with briers—an allegorical representation of growth amidst adversity. This extraordinary print was captured by Brogi from Alinari between 1915-1920 ca. , allowing us to witness firsthand this masterpiece frozen in time. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with religious iconography throughout history.
