EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the majestic Equestrian statue depicting Ferdinand I. Standing proudly in the heart of Piazza del Plebiscito, Naples, this remarkable work of art by Antonio Canova and Antonio Cal is an epitome of Neoclassicism. The grandeur of the equestrian monument is evident as it dominates the square, its intricate details and imposing presence drawing viewers into its historical narrative. The craftsmanship displayed in every inch of this sculpture speaks volumes about the talent and skill possessed by Canova and Cal. Dating back to the 19th century, this masterpiece holds immense significance not only for Europe but also for humanity's artistic heritage. Its creation during a period marked by great social change adds another layer to its allure. The photograph itself was taken around 1930, allowing us a glimpse into how this iconic artwork has withstood the test of time. It serves as a testament to both Alinari's photographic prowess and their commitment to preserving cultural treasures through their lens. As we gaze upon this print captured by Alinari Fratelli, we are transported back centuries ago when Ferdinand I reigned over Naples. We can almost feel his power emanating from the statue as he sits atop his noble steed. This image encapsulates not just an equestrian monument but also represents an era where art flourished amidst political turmoil. It reminds us that even amid chaos, beauty can be found if one knows where to look - in this case, on display at Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples.
