EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Shrine with the head of St. Floriano, located in the Church of S. Stefano in Bologna. The artwork itself dates back to the 15th century, belonging to the Late Gothic period and representing a significant piece of European history from the Middle Ages. The photograph was taken between 1915 and 1920 by Alinari, Fratelli, capturing every intricate detail of this remarkable relic. The shrine is adorned with elaborate building elements and decorations that epitomize Gothic architecture at its finest. Its tabernacle stands proudly amidst an array of swords, arms, armor, and military equipment - symbols that reflect St. Floriano's association with armed forces and military life. St. Floriano himself is depicted as a revered saint within Christian religion; his presence emanates strength and devotion through this striking sculpture. Positioned amidst lush vegetation typical of late gothic aesthetics, he serves as a reminder of faith's endurance throughout centuries. The composition is further enhanced by two light windows that bathe the shrine in ethereal illumination - a testament to both divine intervention and artistic mastery. Alinari's expert photography captures not only the physical attributes but also conveys a sense of reverence for this historical artifact. This image invites viewers into an immersive experience where they can appreciate medieval artistry while contemplating its spiritual significance. Whether one admires it for its architectural grandeur or religious symbolism, this print offers us a glimpse into Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over multiple millennia – truly encapsulating the essence of late gothic art during one fascinating moment frozen in time.
