EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable statue depicting Charity, which was once part of the monument to Corradengo Niella in the grand Cathedral of Savona. The intricately detailed sculpture showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of both Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles that dominated Europe during the First and Second Millennium A. D. Dating back to around the 17th century, this artwork symbolizes an abstract concept - charity. It portrays a nursing figure with a child, emphasizing the nurturing aspect of this virtue. The nude human body is delicately sculpted, highlighting both its physiological and psychological aspects. Surrounded by herbaceous plants and vegetation, including acanthus leaves commonly found in Baroque art, this statue seamlessly blends nature with human expression. Its presence evokes a sense of gracefulness and elegance. The photographer Brogi skillfully captured this timeless masterpiece around 1900. Through his lens, he immortalized not only the physical beauty but also conveyed the profound meaning behind it. This photograph serves as a testament to art's ability to transcend time and connect us with centuries-old concepts. As you gaze upon this print from Alinari, let your imagination wander through history as you contemplate the significance of charity in our lives today. May it serve as a reminder that acts of kindness have always been valued throughout different periods in human civilization – an enduring symbol that continues to inspire us all.
