EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of the upper left part of the tomb of Carlo Marsuppini in the church of Santa Croce, Florence. Taken around 1890, it showcases a masterpiece that dates back to 1453 and was created by the renowned artist Desiderio da Settignano. The tomb is a true testament to the artistic brilliance of the early Renaissance period, with influences from both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles evident in its design. The photo highlights various elements such as textiles, inscriptions, writings, instruments, and communication tools that adorn this magnificent piece. Intriguingly, amidst these decorative features are representations of Madonna and Child - an iconic subject often found in religious artwork. Additionally, there are depictions of angels and putti surrounding figures associated with literature and fiction. The sculpture also incorporates festoons made up of vegetal elements like shells and crests. The presence of a book on this sarcophagus suggests intellectual pursuits or perhaps signifies Marsuppini's love for knowledge. Furthermore, a coat-of-arms emblem can be seen prominently displayed on one side – symbolizing his status as a famous person during his time. Alinari Fratelli's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every minute detail captured within this image. It transports us back in time to witness firsthand the exquisite craftsmanship that characterized Europe during the first millennium AD. This photograph serves as a remarkable historical document showcasing not only an exceptional work but also providing insights into different art movements spanning centuries. It invites viewers to delve into their imagination while contemplating how art has evolved over time across diverse periods and styles.
