EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of the Altar (marble) located in the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, Orvieto, Umbria, Italy. Dating back to the 16th century and created by renowned Italian artists Michele Sanmicheli, Giovanni Battista da Siena, and Simone Mosca, this rich marble altar is a true masterpiece. The focal point of this artwork is the Epiphany scene sculpted by Raffaello da Montelupo. It depicts a momentous biblical event with incredible attention to detail and emotion. Above it are three haunting angels that add an ethereal touch to the composition. These angels and other bas-reliefs were skillfully crafted by Raffaello's son Francesco. Stepping into the Chapel of Magi within Orvieto's Basilica Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta feels like entering a realm where art meets spirituality. The intricate carvings on this altar showcase not only exceptional craftsmanship but also reflect religious devotion. The play between light and shadow further enhances its grandeur as rays filter through stained glass windows onto its surface. Every curve and contour of this sculpture tells a story from centuries past. As you gaze upon this photograph captured by Ghigo Roli, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to witness firsthand the magnificence of Renaissance artistry combined with profound faith.
