EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Seven Works of Mercy: dress the denudes" a stunning low terracotta relief created by Santi Buglioni between 1526 and 1528. The artwork is housed in the Ospedale del Ceppo, located in Pistoia, Italy. Buglioni's masterpiece depicts one of the corporal works of mercy - dressing the naked. This particular detail focuses on a group of destitute individuals who are being clothed with compassion and generosity. The intricate polychrome carving brings to life their expressions of gratitude and hope amidst their dire circumstances. The relief is part of a larger frieze that adorns the walls of Frieze dello Spedale del Ceppo, serving as a testament to Christian charity during the Renaissance period. It exemplifies both religious devotion and social responsibility, emphasizing the importance of caring for those less fortunate. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully captures this significant work through her lens, highlighting its intricate details and profound message. Her photograph allows viewers to appreciate not only Buglioni's artistic talent but also his contribution to promoting empathy and kindness within society. Through this image, we are reminded of our duty as human beings to extend a helping hand to those in need. It serves as an enduring symbol of compassion, virtue, and solidarity - values that continue to resonate across time and cultures.
