EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Tomb of Filippo Strozzi, located in the renowned Strozzi Chapel within Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. The intricate detail captured by photographer Raffaello Bencini allows us to appreciate Benedetto da Maiano's masterful craftsmanship. In this particular close-up shot, our attention is drawn to the central figure of the Virgin and Child with angels. Carved from marble between 1491 and 1495, this relief sculpture radiates celestial beauty. The roundel niche serves as a heavenly backdrop for Mary as she cradles baby Jesus in her arms. Surrounding them are a group of cherubic putti or angelic figures that add an ethereal touch to the composition. These playful cherubs symbolize purity and innocence while also emphasizing the divine nature of this scene. The Renaissance period was known for its emphasis on naturalism and human emotion, both of which are beautifully conveyed through Da Maiano's skillful execution. Every delicate feature is meticulously carved, bringing life and depth to each character portrayed. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness firsthand the artistic brilliance that flourished during this era. It serves as a testament not only to Filippo Strozzi's legacy but also to the enduring power of art itself.
