EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of the Tomb of Maria Pereira, nestled within the church of S. Bernardino in L'Aquila. The tomb is a remarkable example of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, showcasing intricate details and masterful craftsmanship. The arcaded structure stands proudly with its pilasters and shell-like niches, each adorned with delicate statuettes depicting John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene, St. Catherine of Alexandria, and St. Francis of Assisi. These figures add a sense of reverence to the overall composition. At the center lies a magnificent sarcophagus flanked by two cherubic putti holding a blazon symbolizing nobility and honor. This central feature commands attention as it represents both strength and fragility simultaneously. Above this grand display rests the recumbent figure of Maria Pereira herself, depicted in serene repose. Her presence exudes gracefulness while serving as a reminder of mortality's embrace. Beneath her lies another figure - Beatrice - whose significance remains shrouded in mystery but adds an air of intrigue to this already enchanting artwork. The photograph itself was captured between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli from Alinari Studios – renowned for their exceptional documentation of historical art pieces across Europe throughout various periods. Through this photo print, we are transported back to 1496 when Silvestro dell'Aquila created this masterpiece that continues to captivate viewers today. It serves as a testament to human creativity and devotion while offering us an opportunity to appreciate the rich cultural heritage preserved within these sacred walls.
