EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the right aisle of the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Florence, Italy. The focal point is a magnificent pulpit adorned with five bas-relief sculpted tiles depicting scenes from the life of St. Francis. Created by Benedetto da Maiano around 1481, this masterpiece specifically portrays St. Francis receiving the stigmata. The artist's skillful use of perspective creates a profound sense of depth within each tile, drawing viewers into the narrative unfolding before them. Underneath each tile are niches housing statuettes representing various virtues associated with St. Francis. The intricate details and craftsmanship displayed in this artwork highlight da Maiano's mastery over his medium, marble. Each delicate curve and contour brings to life the emotions and significance behind St. Francis' encounter with divine intervention. As one gazes upon this image, they cannot help but be transported back to fifteenth-century Italy, where religious devotion was intertwined with artistic expression at its finest. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of faith and art throughout history. Ghigo Roli's expert photography beautifully captures every nuance and texture present in this remarkable piece of Renaissance sculpture, allowing viewers to appreciate its grandeur even from afar.
