EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a profound moment in religious history - Christ praying in the garden of olive trees. The left part of the predelle, from Andrea Mantegna's Altarpiece of San Zeno, showcases this iconic scene with meticulous detail and skillful brushwork. Measuring 70x92 cm, this tempera on wood masterpiece is housed at the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Tours, France. Created between 1457 and 1460 by Mantegna himself, it forms an integral part of the larger San Zeno altarpiece's predella. The image depicts Christ's agony in the Garden of Gethsemane before his crucifixion. With eyes closed and hands clasped together in prayer, he seeks solace amidst a grove of ancient olive trees. The artist expertly conveys a sense of spiritual intensity through his use of light and shadow. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this significant moment through her lens, preserving its timeless beauty for all to admire. This photograph allows us to delve into the depths of Christian art during the Renaissance period while highlighting Ricciarini's artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to quattrocento Italy - a time when religion played an integral role in society and art was used as a medium for devotion and contemplation. It serves as a reminder that even today, centuries later, these masterpieces continue to inspire awe and reverence among viewers worldwide
