EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a mesmerizing tile with a mythological scene on the monument to Gerolamo and Marcantonio della Torre. Crafted by the skilled hands of Andrea Briosco, also known as Il Rioccio, this bronze masterpiece dates back to around 1516. The Church of San Fermo in Verona serves as the backdrop for this extraordinary artwork. The tile depicts a sphinx, an enigmatic hybrid figure from ancient mythology, surrounded by intricate festoons and vegetal elements. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing Briosco's mastery in capturing both the human form and natural beauty. As we delve into the image, we are transported back in time to witness the fusion of Renaissance and Baroque styles that characterized Europe during this period. It is a testament to the artistic evolution that took place during these centuries. Photographed in 1919 by Anderson from Alinari, this print allows us to appreciate not only Briosco's talent but also his contribution to art history. His work seamlessly blends Greco-Roman influences with Renaissance-Baroque aesthetics, creating a harmonious composition that stands out even today. This print invites us to contemplate not only its visual allure but also its historical significance. It reminds us of how art can transcend time and connect us with past civilizations while still resonating with contemporary audiences. In summary, this photograph offers a glimpse into an exquisite tile adorning the funerary monument at Verona's Church of San Fermo. With its mythical subject matter and masterful execution by Andrea Briosco (Il Rioccio), it represents an important piece within European Renaissance art history.
