EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the serene beauty of the Basilica di Sant'Elia in Castel Sant'Elia, near Viterbo, Italy. The image captures the majestic apse of this Romanesque church, which dates back to the 8th and 9th centuries. The apse stands tall and proud against a backdrop of rocky landscapes and lush meadows. Its architectural elements are beautifully showcased, from the intricate arches to the exedra that frames it with elegance. The buttresses provide support while adding a touch of grandeur to this medieval masterpiece. Nature intertwines harmoniously with man-made structures in this scene. A solitary tree stands nearby, its branches reaching towards the heavens as if mirroring the soaring heights of the basilica's architecture. Lush vegetation surrounds it, creating a peaceful atmosphere that seems untouched by time. As we gaze at this photograph captured between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, we can't help but be transported back in time. We imagine ourselves walking through these ancient grounds during Europe's first and second millenniums. The landscape surrounding Castel Sant'Elia is breathtakingly beautiful; farmland stretches out into the distance, merging seamlessly with countryside vistas. Cypress trees line our path as we explore this historic site steeped in history and spirituality. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create enduring works of art that withstand centuries while blending effortlessly with their natural surroundings. It invites us to appreciate both our rich cultural heritage and nature's timeless beauty - an invitation we gladly accept every time we admire this remarkable image from Alinari Fratelli.
