EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate relief carvings of The Sun and the Lion, created by the talented artist Agostino di Duccio in the 15th century. These exquisite details adorn the crown and voussoir of the entrance arch in the Chapel of the Planets at Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini, Italy.
The craftsmanship displayed in these carvings is truly remarkable, showcasing Agostino di Duccio's skill and artistry. The Sun symbolizes vitality, strength, and power, while the Lion represents courage and nobility. Together, they create a striking image that exudes grandeur and majesty.
As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back to the Renaissance era when such masterpieces were created to adorn sacred spaces like Tempio Malatestiano. The attention to detail is evident in every curve and line of these relief carvings, highlighting a deep appreciation for beauty and symbolism.
Incorporating elements of astrology with cherubim motifs adds an extra layer of meaning to this artwork. It invites us to reflect on our connection to celestial bodies and spiritual forces that shape our lives.
