EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fragment from the cycle of detached frescoes titled "The Poor calling Death" part of Andrea Orcagna's masterpiece, "The Triumph of Death, Last Judgement and Hell". Created around 1350, this artwork can be found in the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Florence, Italy. In this haunting depiction, Orcagna skillfully portrays the desperation and vulnerability of poverty. The poor are shown reaching out to Death, their skeletal hands extended towards him as if pleading for release from their suffering. This powerful image serves as a reminder that death is an inevitable equalizer that transcends social status. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke. The play between light and shadow adds depth to the composition while enhancing the eerie atmosphere surrounding Death himself. The delicate colors used create a sense of melancholy that resonates with viewers. "The Poor calling Death" is just one fragment from a larger narrative exploring themes such as mortality, judgment, and damnation. It stands as a testament to Orcagna's mastery in capturing human emotions through art. As we contemplate this photograph print by Ghigo Roli, we are transported back to medieval times when religious beliefs played a significant role in people's lives. It serves as both an artistic marvel and an invitation for introspection on our own mortality and how it shapes our existence today.
