EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Gothic architecture. The image showcases the majestic apse and dome of the church located within the Abbey of Fossanova, a remarkable testament to Europe's rich history during the Middle Ages. The photograph, taken in 1932 by Anderson from Alinari, beautifully captures every intricate detail of this architectural masterpiece. Built between 1173 and 1208, this stunning church stands as a symbol of craftsmanship and devotion that has withstood the test of time. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to various building elements that make up its grandeur. From the exedra and tribune to the lantern and drum, each component adds depth and complexity to its overall design. The presence of buttresses provides both support and aesthetic appeal while an oculus allows natural light to filter through. Noteworthy are two distinct types of windows featured – single light windows alongside two-light windows – which add symmetry while allowing ample illumination into this sacred space. These architectural features serve as a reminder that even centuries ago, attention was given not only to functionality but also beauty. Steeped in history spanning over multiple millennia, this photograph invites us on a journey through time. It reminds us how artistry transcends generations; it connects us with those who came before us while inspiring future generations yet unborn. In essence, this print is more than just an image frozen in time; it serves as a visual gateway into an era where faith met ingenuity resulting in awe-inspiring structures like these found throughout Europe during the first and second millenniums AD.
