EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the wood choir stalls in the historic Badia Fiorentina, located in Florence, Italy. Crafted by Francesco and Marco del Tasso during the early Renaissance period in 1502, these stalls represent a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The photograph, taken around 1890 by Alinari Fratelli, beautifully captures one particular detail of these magnificent stalls. In this section, we are introduced to a mesmerizing depiction of a harpy – a mythical creature with the body of a bird and the head and torso of a woman. The presence of this hybrid figure adds an element of intrigue to the overall composition. Surrounded by lush vegetation that intertwines with Greco-Roman influences, this artwork transports us back to Europe's first and second millenniums. The combination of birds, vertebrates, animals, mythology elements, and vegetal compositions creates an enchanting visual narrative that reflects both nature's beauty and human imagination. The craftsmanship displayed in this piece is truly remarkable; every curve and line carved into the wood exhibits exceptional skill. It serves as a testament to Francesco and Marco del Tasso's mastery as artists during their time. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari Fratelli's collection today, we can appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance. It allows us to connect with artistry from centuries ago while marveling at how it continues to captivate our senses even today.
