EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of the Stiloforo Lion, a masterpiece by Benedetto Antelami. The lion is located on the central portal of the facade at the Cathedral of San Donnino in Fidenza, Italy. Dating back to 1190-1210 during the Romanesque period, this remarkable artwork showcases Antelami's exceptional talent and skill as a sculptor. The lion itself serves as an allegory, representing strength and power. Its presence exudes a sense of grandeur that draws viewers into its mesmerizing gaze. The print beautifully highlights every intricacy of this magnificent sculpture - from its meticulously carved mane to its fierce expression. It is evident that Antelami paid great attention to detail, capturing not only the physical attributes but also imbuing it with symbolic meaning. As we delve deeper into this image, we can see various figures surrounding the lion. These include prophets such as Ezekiel and people from biblical stories like David. This suggests that beyond being a mere representation of an animal, there are profound connections to religious narratives found in both the Old and New Testaments. Photographed in April 1956 by Clari from Studio Fotografico Alinari, this print allows us to appreciate not only Antelami's artistic genius but also provides insight into European history during the Middle Ages. It reminds us of how art has always been intertwined with culture and spirituality throughout different periods in time. This photograph serves as a testament to Benedetto Antelami's enduring legacy as one of Italy's most celebrated sculptors while offering us a glimpse into Europe's rich artistic heritage spanning over two millennia.
