EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite Tomb of Carlo Marsuppini in the church of Santa Croce, located in the enchanting city of Florence. The tomb, a remarkable example of Early Renaissance artistry, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage that permeates throughout Europe. Crafted by the skilled hands of Desiderio da Settignano in 1453, this monumental masterpiece seamlessly blends elements from various artistic styles and periods such as Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque. Its intricate details showcase an array of subjects including madonna and child representations, annunciation scenes, putti figures, literature references, angelic beings, famous portraits, and more. The sculpture itself is adorned with festoons depicting vegetal compositions intertwined with delicate books and shells. A crest bearing emblems adds a touch of regality to this magnificent work. As one gazes upon it, they are transported back in time to an era where art was revered for its ability to communicate stories through visual language. Dating back over five centuries ago when this photograph was taken around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli – renowned pioneers in capturing historical moments – it serves as a precious window into history. It encapsulates not only the beauty but also the significance of this extraordinary artwork that has stood tall for generations. As we admire this print today while standing on the precipice between two millennia -the first and second- let us appreciate how art transcends time itself. Let it remind us that within these walls lie tales waiting to be discovered; stories woven into every stroke carved by Desiderio da Settignano's chisel.
