EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite masterpiece known as "Cantoria" by Donatello. Created between 1433 and 1439, this remarkable sculpture is made of marble and bronze, displaying the genius of its creator. Currently housed in the Museo dell Opera del Duomo in Florence, Tuscany, Italy, it was originally positioned above the Sacristy doors in Santa Maria del Fiore. The photograph beautifully captures the grandeur and intricacy of this carved relief sculpture. The viewer is drawn into a world of music and harmony as they gaze upon the continuous frieze that adorns this singing gallery. The choir stall depicted in the artwork transports us back to Renaissance times when such craftsmanship flourished. Notably present are cherubs or putti - angelic figures often associated with religious art during the Quattrocento period. These playful yet serene beings add an ethereal touch to an already mesmerizing composition. Photographer Nicolo Orsi Battaglini skillfully captures every detail and texture through his lens, allowing viewers to appreciate Donatello's mastery even from afar. This print serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and historical significance. As we admire this image, we are reminded of how art has the power to transcend time, connecting us with past cultures while inspiring future generations.
