EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of Michelangelo's masterpiece, the "Allegory of the Aurora" which adorns the Tomb of Laurent II of Medicis in Florence, Italy. Created in 1531, this marble sculpture is a testament to Michelangelo's genius and his contribution to Renaissance art. The photograph focuses on a specific detail of the sculpture - a naked woman representing Aurora, goddess of dawn. Her body is flawlessly carved with exquisite precision, showcasing Michelangelo's mastery over form and anatomy. The delicate curves and contours highlight both her femininity and strength. The tomb itself was commissioned for Laurent II of Medicis, Duke of Urbino (1492-1519), also known as Lorenzo de Medici. It resides within the New Sacristy at San Lorenzo Church in Florence, serving as a lasting tribute to one of history's most influential families. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captured this image, allowing viewers to appreciate every nuance and intricacy that Michelangelo infused into his work. Through her lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the beauty and grandeur that defined Italian Renaissance art. This print serves as a reminder not only of Michelangelo's immense talent but also pays homage to an era where artistic expression flourished under patronage from powerful families like the Medicis.
