EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Tabernacle: Death and Assumption of the Virgin Mary, a high marble relief created in 1359 by the talented artist Andrea di Cione, also known as Orcagna. The artwork can be found in the Orsanmichele Church and Museum located in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. In this remarkable piece, we witness the representation of the Virgin Mary enclosed within a mandorle. The intricate carving on marble beautifully captures both her death and assumption. Orcagna's craftsmanship is evident through his attention to detail and skillful rendering of emotions. The Tabernacle holds significant religious symbolism as it depicts an important biblical scene from the life of Mary. This trecento masterpiece transports us back to medieval times when such art was highly revered for its spiritual significance. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured this timeless work with her camera lens, allowing us to appreciate every delicate feature and nuance present in Orcagna's creation. Through this photo print, we are transported into a world where angels surround Mary during her transition from earthly existence to heavenly glory. This image serves as a testament to Italian artistry during the Middle Ages and reminds us of the enduring power that religious iconography holds over our collective imagination.
