This photograph by Giacomo Brogi, taken between 1864 and 1881, captures a detail of the Tabernacle in the Cappella Medici at the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, Italy. The photograph shows a carved angel supporting the structure, a common motif in Renaissance and Baroque architecture. The inscription above the angel reads "Hic est famulus vivus de celo descriptus" (This is the living servant described by heaven), a testament to the religious purpose of the tabernacle. Brogi's photograph offers a glimpse into the rich detail of the artwork, highlighting the skill of the sculptor Mino da Fiesole.
