EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the base of the Tabernacle - "Presentation of the Virgin in the Temple" by Andrea di Cione, also known as Orcagna. Created between 1349 and 1359, this marble relief is housed in the Orsanmichele Church and Museum in Florence, Italy. The intricate craftsmanship of this Gothic-Renaissance masterpiece is evident in every delicate curve and meticulous detail. The relief depicts an octagonal scene with steps leading up to a grand octagon where a child stands before priests and clergy. This momentous event portrays Anne and Joachim presenting their daughter, Mary, to be consecrated at the temple. Orcagna's skillful portrayal captures both religious devotion and human emotion. The figures are depicted with grace and reverence, showcasing their faith through gestures of prayer and contemplation. The presence of monks adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the importance of religious orders during that time. As you gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured by David Lees, you can't help but feel transported back to medieval Florence. It serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and spiritual significance within Renaissance art history.
