EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of art, the glazed terracotta sculpture of St Mark the Evangelist. Preserved in all its glory within the Presbytery of the Church of St Maria delle Grazie in Stia, this masterpiece is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Renaissance period. The high relief sculpture showcases intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship that are characteristic of both High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Created by the renowned Della Robbia family during the 15th and 16th centuries, it stands as an enduring symbol of their artistic legacy. In this image, we see St Mark depicted with great precision and realism. The lion, his traditional attribute, accompanies him faithfully at his side. Clad in elaborate attire that reflects contemporary fashion trends, he holds a book - most likely representing the Bible's New Testament - signifying his role as an evangelist. The photograph itself was taken around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli, capturing not only this stunning artwork but also providing us with a glimpse into history. It allows us to appreciate how art has evolved over time while reminding us of Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning across millennia. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply captivated by historical artifacts, this photograph serves as a window into both past eras and exceptional artistic talent. It invites contemplation on themes such as religion, human expression through creativity, and our connection to history itself.
