EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable roundel from the facade of the Ospedale degli Innocenti in Florence, Italy. Crafted by the renowned artist Andrea della Robbia during the Renaissance period, this glazed terracotta masterpiece is a testament to his exceptional talent. The roundel features an endearing depiction of a swaddled child, symbolizing the orphanage's mission to provide care and support for abandoned infants. The intricate details of this moulded arch are truly awe-inspiring. Every curve and contour has been meticulously crafted, showcasing the skillful artistry of Robbia. The binding and moulding techniques used in creating this piece further highlight its craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be moved by its profound message of charity and compassion. This roundel serves as a poignant reminder that even in times long past, there were individuals who dedicated themselves to helping those less fortunate. The architectural elements surrounding the roundel add another layer of beauty to this composition. Designed by Filippo Brunelleschi, the loggia with its arcade creates an elegant backdrop for Robbia's artwork. Thanks to Giuliano Valsecchi's expert photography skills, we are able to appreciate every intricate detail and nuance captured in this stunning print. It serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a historical snapshot that transports us back to 15th-century Italy.
