EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable terracotta sculpture titled "St Benedict blessing" created by the renowned Robbiana School and currently preserved in the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, located in Siena. The artwork itself dates back to the 16th century, belonging to the Renaissance period. In this image captured around 1890, we are presented with an exquisite representation of St Benedict, depicted in his distinctive religious attire. The artist's attention to detail is evident as every fold and texture of his clothing is meticulously crafted. St Benedict holds a book in one hand, symbolizing knowledge and wisdom, while his other hand makes a benevolent gesture of blessing. The statue exudes an aura of tranquility and spirituality that resonates with viewers even after centuries have passed since its creation. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and devotion within Christian religion. The photograph itself was taken by Alinari Fratelli - an esteemed name associated with capturing timeless moments through their lens. Their expertise shines through as they skillfully capture not only the intricate details of this masterpiece but also convey its historical significance. This image transports us back to a time when Renaissance art flourished across Europe during the first millennium A. D. , blending seamlessly into Baroque styles that followed later on. It offers us a glimpse into both artistic periods that shaped European culture for generations to come. As we admire this stunning work of art frozen in time through photography, let us appreciate its ability to transcend boundaries - be it geographical or temporal - reminding us all about the universal language spoken by great works of art throughout history.
