EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a stunning glazed terra cotta tondo by the renowned artist Andrea della Robbia. The artwork, depicting St. Bonaventure, is situated between two arches of the loggia of the old Ospedale di San Paolo in Florence's historic Piazza Santa Maria Novella. Dating back to the Renaissance period, this exquisite piece showcases Della Robbia's mastery in creating intricate and lifelike sculptures. The tondo portrays St. Bonaventure, a significant figure in Christian religion and a saint known for his contributions as a theologian and philosopher. The photograph beautifully highlights the details of St. Bonaventure's attire, showcasing his religious clothing adorned with an elegant hat or headdress commonly worn during that era. In his hand rests a pastoral staff, symbolizing his role as a spiritual shepherd guiding his flock. The composition exudes an air of serenity and reverence as it captures both the artistic brilliance of Della Robbia's craftsmanship and the spiritual significance associated with St. Bonaventure. This remarkable print was captured around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli, one of Italy's most esteemed photography studios at that time. Their expertise shines through in their ability to capture not only the physical beauty but also the emotional depth conveyed by this timeless masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to Florence during its Renaissance-Baroque heyday when art flourished under skilled hands like Andrea della Robbia’s. It serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning centuries – from medieval times into modernity – reminding us of our shared history and collective appreciation for artistic excellence.
