EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Buglioni's "The Seven Works of Mercy, feeding the Hungry" terracotta relief. Created between 1526-1528, this masterpiece is housed in the Ospedale del Ceppo in Pistoia, Italy. The low polychrome terracotta relief depicts a scene from the larger series of works known as the Seven Works of Mercy. In this particular panel, we witness an act of generosity and compassion as a Christian girl offers food to a hungry beggar. The intricate carving and attention to detail bring this moment to life, capturing both the physical hunger and spiritual nourishment that occurs through acts of charity. Buglioni's work reflects themes prevalent during the Renaissance period such as poverty, virtue, and religious devotion. Through his artistry, he highlights the importance of caring for those less fortunate and emphasizes the moral duty placed upon individuals within Catholicism. Luisa Ricciarini beautifully captures this profound artwork in her photo print. The image allows viewers to appreciate not only Buglioni's skillful craftsmanship but also serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and responsibility towards one another. It invites contemplation on how acts of kindness can alleviate suffering and promote equity within society. Overall, this print serves as a testament to Buglioni's artistic legacy while inspiring reflection on timeless values such as compassion and generosity.
