EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite bronze relief of "St. Agostino Preaching to the Florentines" by Giambologna, displayed in the Salviati chapel at the Church of San Marco in Florence, Italy. The square format emphasizes the intricate details of this Renaissance masterpiece. In this scene, St. Augustine (Aurelius Augustinus) stands tall and confident as he addresses a mesmerized crowd of townspeople. Surrounding him are horsemen and soldiers, symbolizing power and authority. The horsemen's majestic horses add an element of strength and grace to the composition. Giambologna's skillful craftsmanship is evident in every aspect of this mezzo relievo sculpture. The texture and depth achieved with bronze create a lifelike quality that brings each figure to life. The presence of animals further enhances the narrative depicted in this artwork. A magnificent horse takes center stage, its muscular form exuding energy and vitality. This juxtaposition between human figures and wildlife highlights our connection with nature. As we admire this print by Nicolo Orsi Battaglini, we are transported back to a time when art was not only visually stunning but also conveyed powerful messages about faith, leadership, and community engagement. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these themes continue to resonate with us today.
