EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us to the Main Cloister of the Carthusian Monastery in Florence, where two exquisite busts by Giovanni della Robbia take center stage. The artist's mastery is evident in his creation of St. Lucy and St. Apollonia, both adorned with delicate diadems and jewelry that add a touch of regality to their serene expressions. Dating back to the late 15th century, these busts represent the High Renaissance period, characterized by its emphasis on balance, harmony, and naturalism. Della Robbia's meticulous craftsmanship shines through as he captures every intricate detail of these religious figures' clothing and accessories. St. Lucy stands tall with her eyes closed in devotion, holding a palm branch symbolizing martyrdom while surrounded by lush vegetation that adds an element of life to the composition. On the other hand, St. Apollonia gazes directly at us with a calm yet determined expression as she clutches pliers or tongs – instruments associated with her own martyrdom – showcasing her unwavering faith. The photograph itself was taken around 1890 but immortalizes artwork created between 1489-1529 during Europe's Renaissance period when art flourished under humanist ideals. It highlights not only Della Robbia's skill but also Alinari Fratelli's talent behind the lens. As we admire this print from Alinari without any commercial intent in mind, we are reminded of how art transcends time and connects us to different eras and cultures throughout history. These beautiful busts serve as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with religion, beauty, and artistic expression across centuries.
