EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic scene from the past, showcasing a ship caught in a tempestuous storm. The crew is seen frantically activating various mechanisms to navigate through the treacherous waters. Amidst the chaos, one character stands out as they fervently pray on the left side of the relief. Created by renowned sculptor Giovanni di Balduccio in 1339, this marble relief is housed in the Basilica di Sant Eustorgio in Milan, Italy. The intricate carving skillfully depicts the laborious efforts and imminent danger faced by sailors during that era. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this masterpiece. From the billowing sails to the hazy atmosphere surrounding them, each element contributes to an immersive experience for viewers. This work of art transports us back to a time when maritime voyages were perilous undertakings. Dating back to the Trecento period, this relief showcases Italian craftsmanship at its finest. It serves as a testament not only to Balduccio's talent but also reflects meteorological conditions prevalent during that time. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this extraordinary artwork through her lens, allowing us all to appreciate its beauty and historical significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of both human resilience and our inherent need for faith even amidst life's most tumultuous storms.
