EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent bronze sculpture of "The eagle, symbol of St. John" by Lorenzo Maitani. Created between 1329 and 1330, this masterpiece is located in the Duomo (Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta) in Orvieto, Umbria, Italy. Standing proudly on the facade of the cathedral, this statue is one of four representing the Evangelists. Crafted with meticulous detail and artistry, Maitani's work captures the essence and symbolism associated with St. John. The majestic eagle perched atop a pedestal exudes power and grace. Its outstretched wings seem ready to take flight at any moment while its piercing gaze evokes a sense of wisdom and spirituality. The intricate patterns etched into its feathers demonstrate Maitani's mastery over his craft. As an emblematic figure for St. John, this bronze eagle serves as a visual representation of divine inspiration and enlightenment within Christian iconography. It stands as a testament to both Maitani's skill as a sculptor during the Gothic period and his ability to convey profound meaning through his artwork. This photograph beautifully captures every nuance and texture present in Maitani's creation thanks to Ghigo Roli's expert lensmanship. It allows viewers to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the historical significance that this sculpture holds within medieval art history.
