EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from the Linaivoli Triptych, painted by Fra Angelico in 1433. The focal point of the image is an angel beating a drum with great intensity and passion. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this masterpiece comes to life through the lens of Raffaello Bencini. The angel's presence is ethereal, surrounded by billowing clouds that seem to respond to the rhythm of his music. A tongue of flame emerges from his mouth as he plays, adding an element of mysticism to the scene. The artist's skillful use of tempera on panel brings out every nuance and texture, making it feel almost tangible. The linaioli instrument held by the angel adds another layer of intrigue to this composition. Its unique design suggests a blend between celestial beauty and earthly craftsmanship. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into a world where sound meets sight and imagination takes flight. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also offers insights into meteorology and weather patterns depicted in Renaissance art. It serves as a testament to how science has influenced artistic expression throughout history. Displayed at Museo di San Marco in Florence, Italy, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. Thanks to Raffaello Bencini's expert photography skills, we can now appreciate every brushstroke and detail up close while honoring Fra Angelico's timeless contribution to painting.
