EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Tomb of Giuliano de Medici, Duke of Nemours, located in the New Sacristy of San Lorenzo in Florence, Italy. Created by the legendary artist Michelangelo Buonarroti in 1533, this marble masterpiece showcases his unparalleled talent and mastery. The photograph beautifully highlights the intricate details of the tomb, with its architectural niche serving as a striking backdrop. The figure of Day is depicted on one side, radiating strength and vitality with its dynamic pose and muscular physique. On the other side stands Night, exuding an air of mystery and tranquility through her reclining posture. The composition is further enhanced by various symbolic elements that add depth to the artwork. An owl perched atop a column symbolizes wisdom and knowledge while also representing darkness. The nudity portrayed in both figures adds a sense of vulnerability and rawness to their presence. As we gaze at this remarkable image captured by A© Raffaello Bencini, we are transported back to the Renaissance era when art flourished under Medici patronage. It serves as a reminder of Michelangelo's genius and his contribution to shaping Western art history. This print is not only visually stunning but also holds historical significance as it immortalizes one of Florence's most treasured artistic treasures for all to admire.
