EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magnificent façade of the Basilica of the Holy Apostles in Rome, showcasing its neoclassical beauty. Taken around 1890 by Alinari, Fratelli, this print transports us back to a time when this architectural masterpiece stood tall and proud. The Basilica's façade is a true testament to the skill and craftsmanship of Giuseppe Valadier, who designed it in the early 19th century. Every element has been meticulously carved and placed with precision, creating an awe-inspiring sight for all who visit. The symmetrical composition draws our eyes towards the grand entrance adorned with intricate decorations. As we examine closer, we notice various architectural elements that add depth and character to this stunning structure. The windows are elegantly framed while the tympanum above them showcases delicate sculptures depicting religious scenes. A bell tower rises majestically on one side, adding height and grace to the overall design. A gallery runs along the upper level of the basilica's façade, providing a perfect vantage point for visitors to admire both its exterior beauty as well as panoramic views of Rome. Statues stand proudly at regular intervals along this gallery, their presence enhancing the sense of grandeur surrounding this sacred place. At ground level stands an ornate gate bearing coat-of-arms symbols that speak volumes about its historical significance. This artwork from XV sec. , dating back to 1827 truly encapsulates Europe's rich history spanning over multiple centuries. Alinari's photographic expertise beautifully captures every detail of this remarkable piece of architecture; his lens immortalizing not just a building but also an era gone by. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but feel transported into another time - where artistry met spirituality in perfect harmony within these hallowed walls.
