EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the upper detail of the altar in the Saint Fina Chapel, a masterpiece sculpted by Benedetto da Maiano. Located within the majestic Collegiate Church in San Gimignano, this artwork represents a harmonious blend of High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Dating back to 1475, Benedetto da Maiano's sculpture is an exquisite example of his artistic genius. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this composition. In this particular photograph taken between 1915-1920, we can admire the seraphic presence of an angel alongside a figure representing Madonna and Child. The artist skillfully captures the essence of life and representations of the Virgin Mary through his work. The subject matter draws inspiration from literature and fiction while embracing its religious significance. Clad in elegant garments that reflect contemporary fashion trends during that era, these figures emanate grace and divinity. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a scene filled with prayerful devotion rooted in Catholicism. It serves as a poignant reminder of Christian beliefs and traditions upheld throughout Europe during both the First and Second Millennium A. D. Benedetto da Maiano's artistry transcends time as it embodies elements from various periods such as High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles prevalent across Europe. This profound connection with biblical narratives found in both Old Testament scripture as well as New Testament accounts further enriches our understanding of religious history. Brogi's exceptional photography allows us to appreciate every delicate feature carved by Benedetto da Maiano on this altar piece housed within San Gimignano Collegiate Church's enchanting Saint Fina Chapel.
