EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The head of an angel" by Andrea del Verrocchio, a renowned Italian artist from the 15th century. Originally found in the esteemed collection of the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence, Italy, this exquisite piece is now immortalized in Apollo magazine's volume XII, no 69 from September 1930. Verrocchio's masterful craftsmanship is evident in every delicate detail of this serene portrait. The young angel's eyes are peacefully closed, exuding a sense of contentment and tranquility. With flowing hair cascading around its head and shoulders, the angel appears ethereal and divine. As one gazes upon this monochrome masterpiece, it transports them back to the Renaissance era when religious art flourished. The serenity captured within this image evokes a deep connection with spirituality and faith. "The head of an angel" serves as a testament to Verrocchio's artistic genius while also reflecting the religious devotion that was prevalent during his time. Its timeless beauty transcends centuries and continues to captivate viewers even today. This remarkable print allows us to appreciate Verrocchio's talent while providing a glimpse into fifteenth-century Italy—a country rich in cultural heritage.
