Standing tall against a backdrop of Milan's Piazza Duomo, this Gothic masterpiece is a testament to Europe's rich architectural heritage from the first and second millennium A. D. The photograph, taken around 1900, captures the essence of this magnificent church that has withstood centuries of history. The caryatids, sculpted by renowned artists such as Dolcebuono, Giovanni Giacomo Solari, Guiniforte Solari, Amadeo Giovanni Antonio Solari, Pietro Antonio Solari, and Pellegrino Tibaldi are showcased in high relief. Each figure exudes an air of grace and strength as they support the weight above them. The building elements depicted in this artwork include spires and buttresses that add to its grandeur.
