EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite marble sculpture of Ilaria del Carretto, lying peacefully in eternal rest. Created by renowned Italian artist Jacopo della Quercia in the early 15th century, this funerary monument is a testament to his exceptional skill and artistry. Ilaria del Carretto was the beloved wife of Paolo Guinigi, an influential Italian politician of that time. The sculpture portrays her lying gracefully on a beautifully carved tomb, her delicate features and flowing garments meticulously captured in stone. The attention to detail is remarkable - every fold of fabric, every strand of hair seems almost lifelike. It is as if Ilaria herself has been immortalized through Quercia's masterful craftsmanship. Located within the San Martino Cathedral in Lucca, Italy, this stunning artwork stands as a symbol of love and devotion even centuries after its creation. The serene expression on Ilaria's face evokes a sense of tranquility and peace that transcends time. Photographer Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures the essence and beauty of this masterpiece through her lens. Her choice to present it in black and white adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing viewers to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic excellence. This print serves as a reminder not only of Ilaria del Carretto's existence but also celebrates the enduring power of art to capture emotions and tell stories across generations.
