EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail of "The Legend of the True Cross, the Annunciation" by Piero della Francesca. Completed in 1464 as a fresco in the Basilica San Francesco in Arezzo, Italy, this particular section focuses on the Virgin Mary. The image showcases her serene and ethereal beauty as she receives news from the angel Gabriel. Piero della Francesca's mastery is evident in every brushstroke, with his meticulous attention to detail bringing life to this Renaissance masterpiece. The use of light and shadow creates a heavenly atmosphere around the Virgin Mary, emphasizing her divine presence. Her halo radiates an otherworldly glow that further enhances her significance within this religious narrative. The composition is framed by Corinthian pilasters, adding architectural grandeur to the scene. This combination of artistry and architecture exemplifies the harmonious fusion often found during this period. Photographer Raffaello Bencini skillfully captures every nuance and subtlety present in Piero della Francesca's work. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate not only the technical brilliance but also experience a sense of awe-inspiring spirituality that emanates from this painting. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Christian history – an encounter between heaven and earth captured for eternity through art.
