EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a frieze in glazed terracotta, housed within the magnificent Villa di Poggio a Caiano pronaos in Prato. The photograph, taken around 1920-1930, showcases an artwork dating back to the 15th century by renowned artists Sansovino and Andrea Contucci. The frieze itself is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the High Renaissance period, seamlessly blending elements from both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Its presence within this European villa adds an air of sophistication and cultural richness to its surroundings. In this particular section of the frieze, we are drawn to a female figure depicted with great skill and precision. She stands as an allegory for some abstract concept or symbol yet unknown. By her side rests a majestic goat, representing something terrestrial and primal. Our attention is then captured by another element: a soldier armed with sword, armor, and military equipment. This person or scene evokes thoughts of armed forces and military life during that era - perhaps reflecting on themes such as work, vocation, or even war-torn Europe at that time. Alinari Fratelli's expert photography allows us to appreciate every nuance in this remarkable piece of applied arts and crafts. Through their lens, we can almost feel ourselves transported back through time into the heart of the Renaissance period. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari's collection today, it serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with art throughout history.
