EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the crypt of the Basilica of San Nicola in Bari, Puglia. As we gaze upon it, we are instantly immersed in the rich history and architectural marvels that this sacred place holds. The focus of this image is one of the capitals adorning the crypt, showcasing exquisite Romanesque craftsmanship from the Middle Ages. The capital itself is a testament to human ingenuity and artistic prowess. Its intricate design features an abundance of acanthus leaves, meticulously carved to create a mesmerizing vegetal composition. Each leaf seems to come alive with its delicate contours and graceful curves, evoking a sense of natural beauty frozen in time. Dating back to around 1089 AD, this artwork stands as a remarkable relic from Europe's first and second millenniums. It serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy left by those who came before us – their dedication to faith and their commitment to creating lasting works of art that transcend generations. The photographer behind this masterpiece is Alinari, Fratelli. Through his lens, he captures not only the physicality but also the essence and spirit imbued within these ancient walls. This photograph was taken between 1920-1930 AD when Alinari skillfully captured every detail with precision and care. As we contemplate this print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its ability to transport us through time. It allows us to connect with our past while reminding us that even centuries later, art continues to inspire awe and wonderment for all who encounter it.
