EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the façade of Palazzo Fantuzzi in Bologna. The intricate decoration on this architectural masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. At the center of the photograph, we see a shrine adorned with exquisite craftsmanship. Perched atop this shrine is an unexpected yet enchanting sight - an elephant! This terrestrial mammal stands proudly, symbolizing strength and wisdom. Its presence adds a touch of whimsy to the otherwise regal surroundings. Surrounding the elephant are turreted towns, reminiscent of medieval castles. These structures evoke a sense of history and grandeur, transporting us back to another era. Each turret tells its own story, whispering secrets from centuries past. The building elements showcased in this print are remarkable. From columns to windows, frames to niches, every detail has been meticulously crafted. The architecture itself is a work of art that seamlessly blends High Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The sculpture featured here is executed in high relief, adding depth and dimensionality to the composition. It exemplifies the skill and talent of Andrea da Formigine (ca. 1480-1559), who was responsible for creating this magnificent piece alongside Marchesi da Formigine. Dating back to between 1517-1533 and 1680 respectively, these artistic wonders have stood the test of time. They serve as reminders of Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. Captured by Alinari Fratelli sometime between 1920-1930 AD. , this print not only immortalizes Palazzo Fantuzzi but also invites viewers into a world where beauty meets history at every turn.
