EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned masterpiece "Lamentation" by Cosme Tura, created around 1460. The painting depicts a poignant scene of mourning and grief, but it is the subtle details that truly captivate the viewer's attention. In the upper left corner of the artwork, an unexpected element emerges – a monkey clinging to the branches of an apple tree. The inclusion of this peculiar creature holds symbolic significance within Tura's composition. It alludes to both the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and to the temptation posed by Satan himself. The monkey perched on the apple tree references mankind's fall from grace due to their disobedience towards God's commandment. Tura masterfully intertwines religious narrative with allegorical elements, inviting viewers to reflect upon themes such as sin, temptation, and redemption. This small yet significant detail adds depth and complexity to an already emotionally charged scene. As we gaze at this remarkable print captured by Ghigo Roli, we are transported back in time to witness Tura's artistic genius firsthand. Through his meticulous brushstrokes and profound symbolism, he invites us into a world where beauty coexists with sorrow and where every stroke tells a story waiting for our interpretation.
