EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the sepulchral monument to Cardinal Pietro Riario, a remarkable work by Mino da Fiesole in the Basilica dei Ss. Apostoli (Basilica of Sts. Apostles) in Rome. The detail captured here is truly awe-inspiring, featuring the Madonna with the Child at its center and on the left side, we see the cardinal himself kneeling down in reverence. Mino da Fiesole's mastery is evident in every intricate detail of this piece. The Madonna with the Child exudes grace and tenderness as she cradles her divine son, while Cardinal Pietro Riario humbly kneels beside them, his devotion palpable even through time frozen in stone. The photograph was taken around 1890, providing us with a glimpse into this magnificent artwork that dates back to 1474-1484. It represents an exquisite example of early Renaissance artistry within a blend of Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. In addition to capturing these religious figures, other elements come into view as well. We can observe details such as clothing fashion from that era - both civilian and military headdresses worn by individuals depicted within this masterpiece. The presence of a child adds innocence to the scene while highlighting themes related to life and representations of the Virgin Mary throughout history. Moreover, we cannot overlook Cardinal Pietro Riario's prominent role within Christian religion as part of clergy represented here. A throne serves as their seat symbolizing power and authority alongside an object resembling a globe which may allude to worldly influence or spiritual significance found within biblical teachings present during Europe's first and second millenniums. Overall, Anderson's photograph allows us to appreciate not only Mino da Fiesole's artistic brilliance but also offers insight into historical contexts encompassing various aspects like fashion trends or religious iconography prevalent during those times.
