EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when Sixtus IV, the renowned Pope from 1471 to 1484, appoints Bartolomeo Platina as Prefect of the Vatican Library. Painted by Melozzo da Forli in c. 1477, this impressive fresco measures a remarkable 370x315 cm and showcases the grandeur of Renaissance art. In this scene, Sixtus IV is seated on his majestic throne on the right side, surrounded by his cardinal nephews and lay nephews. The apostolic pronotary Raffaele Riario stands at his right-hand side while Julius II, who would later become pope from 1503 to 1513, stands before him. Behind Platina are Girolamo Riario and Giovanni della Rovere. Bartolomeo Sacchi, also known as Platina, was an Italian Renaissance humanist writer and gastronomist who played a significant role in shaping intellectual discourse during that era. His appointment as Prefect of the Vatican Library highlights his scholarly achievements and dedication to preserving knowledge. The photograph itself is a stunning representation of late fifteenth-century architecture within Rome's prestigious Vatican Library. Its composition beautifully captures the solemnity of the occasion with its intricate details and vibrant colors. This print offers viewers a glimpse into history—a visual testament to power dynamics within religious institutions during one of Italy's most influential periods—the fifteenth century.
