EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a timeless masterpiece of the Renaissance era - "The Visitation" by Luca della Robbia. The glazed terracotta sculpture, located in the Church of St. Giovanni Fuoricivitas in Pistoia, Italy, is a testament to the artistic genius of its creator. "The Visitation" depicts an emotional encounter between two iconic figures from Christian mythology - the Virgin Mary and St. Elizabeth. This profound moment showcases not only their physical rapport but also delves into their psychological behavior and human psychology as they share an unspoken bond. Della Robbia's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. The intricate costumes worn by the female saints reflect the fashion and clothing styles prevalent during the Renaissance period, adding depth to their characters. Through his skillful craftsmanship, he brings life to these representations of religious figures. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1890, we are transported back in time to witness a scene that has captivated audiences for centuries. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and societal changes while remaining relevant throughout history. "The Visitation" stands as a symbol not only of faith but also as a reflection on society and politics during early Renaissance Europe. Its significance lies not just in its aesthetic beauty but also in its exploration of individual physiological and psychological aspects within biblical narratives. This remarkable print by Brogi from Alinari allows us to appreciate Della Robbia's masterwork even today, reminding us that great art continues to inspire generations long after its creation.
