EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent marble altar of "The martyrdom of St. Cecilia" by Antonio Raggi, which is lovingly preserved in the Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone in Rome. The artwork itself dates back to the mid-17th century and was created by the talented sculptor Ercole Antonio Raggi. In this high relief baroque masterpiece, we witness a scene that depicts the martyrdom of St. Cecilia, a revered figure in Christian religion. Dressed in intricate religious clothing, she stands as a symbol of strength and devotion amidst her suffering. This portrayal captures both her femininity and saintly aura with remarkable detail. The altar's exquisite craftsmanship reflects both Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods prevalent during its creation. Its presence within this historic church adds to its significance as an important cultural artifact from Europe's first and second millenniums. Photographed around 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, this image allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the fashion and clothing style prevalent during that era. It provides a glimpse into how religious figures were depicted at that time, showcasing their distinctive attire such as bishops' robes and clergy garments. "The martyrdom of St. Cecilia" serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history while embodying deep spiritual symbolism for those who follow Catholicism or are interested in biblical narratives from the New Testament period. Alinari Fratelli's photograph beautifully captures this timeless artwork, allowing viewers to admire its beauty even decades later. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply curious about historical masterpieces, this print offers a window into one of Rome's most treasured artistic gems - The Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone's marble altar dedicated to St. Cecilia
