EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the base of the Tabernacle, specifically "The Adoration of the Magi" by Orcagna, Andrea di Cione. Created between 1349 and 1359 in marble, this masterpiece resides within the Orsanmichele Church and Museum in Florence, Italy. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to the intricate relief carving that adorns this octagonal structure. The scene depicted is none other than the biblical nativity story - a momentous event that has captivated hearts for centuries. In this particular detail, we witness an array of figures surrounding the manger where baby Jesus lies. The Virgin Mary gazes tenderly at her newborn child while shepherds kneel reverently beside her. A donkey and an ox stand nearby as witnesses to this miraculous birth. The presence of these animals adds a sense of humility and simplicity to the composition. Every element in this piece exudes Gothic and Renaissance influences - from its architectural design to its meticulous craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to Orcagna's skill as an artist during his time. Through David Lee's lens, we are granted an opportunity to appreciate every delicate curve and contour carved into this marble relief. This photograph preserves not only a historical artifact but also invites us into a profound spiritual experience that transcends time itself.
