Education of the Virgin, c. 1700. Giuseppe Mazzuoli (Italian, 1644-1725). Marble; overall: 110.5 x 96.5 x 26 cm (43 1/2 x 38 x 10 1/4 in.). During the Counter-Reformation, the Roman Catholic Church increasingly upheld Saint Anne, the Virgin Marys mother, as an example of virtuous motherhood, particularly in emphasizing her daughters religious education. Its graceful composition also connects to the idealized, elegant work of Guido Reni.

Tuscany Grosseto Santa Fiora SS. Fiora e Lucilla, Parish church1. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Exterior views show a simple stone facade with a renaissance portal and a Romanesque rose window. Most views focus on the interior decoration by Andrea and Giovanni della Robbia: the dossal in the first altar to the right depicts the penitent St. Jerome, the Coronation of the Virgin, and the Stigmatization of St. Francis; the pulpit depicts the Last Supper, the Resurrection, and the Ascension. Other della Robbia terracottas show the Assumption of the Virgin among angels and the Baptism of Christ. Coverage includes the very Mannerist main altarpiece, an icon of the Virgin and Child (engaged in close eye contact) set in an aedicule, a polychrome statue of St. Anthony Abbot, several crucifixes and a baptismal font. General Notes: SS. Fiora and Lucilla is also called the Pieve (Parish Church). German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s until hi

Abruzzo Chieti Chieti S. Tommaso Apostolo, Cathedral3. Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Cathedral was begun in 840, and building continued in the 11th cent. It was reconstructed in the 14th cent. The interior underwent a radical restoration in the 18th cent. in the Baroque style. The campanile was built in 1335. Photos include exterior views of the facade and the campanile along with several details. The interior views show the Baroque nave with its vaults and cupola. There are paintings in the vaults and over the altars, including one of St. Thomas & Christ over the main altar. There are also photos of the marble paliotto in front of the altar (17th cent.). Other interior details are the baptismal font, a wooden statue of the Madonna & Child, and wooden statues of two saints, one St. Peter. There are also several photos of the crypt, including a few of the painting fragments remaining there. German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s un

Relief of the Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus 1264-88 French Four key events in the final hours of Jesus life are dramatically shown here (from left to right): Peter sheathing his sword after severing the ear of Malchus (seated), the high priests servant; Jesus miraculously restoring the ear; Judas betraying Jesus with a kiss; and Roman soldiers arresting Jesus. The compression of these events into one scene with its complex interweaving of figural masses creates a powerful sculptural statement. In the medieval church the choir screen separated the nave and the choir area. By the thirteenth century these barriers often were decorated with extensive narrative themes, especially the Passion, the dramatic final events in the earthly life of Jesus. Because they hindered participation in church rituals by the laity, most European churches eventually eliminated them. The choir screen at the cathedral in Amiens was destroyed in 1755. This relief is one of the largest and best preserved narrati
