EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Lucca, Italy. The focal point of this image is the magnificent facade of the Church of Saint Frediano, a true testament to Romanesque architecture dating back to the Middle Ages. The church's facade stands tall and proud, showcasing intricate building elements that have withstood the test of time. From its grand arches and sturdy columns to its beautifully adorned door, every detail exudes an air of elegance and history. The mosaic ornamentation adds a touch of vibrancy against the backdrop of weathered stone. Standing adjacent to the church is a majestic bell tower that reaches towards the heavens, reminding us of its purpose as a beacon for Christian worshipers throughout centuries. This religious structure holds deep significance within Lucca's urban landscape, serving as both a place for spiritual solace and a symbol of community unity. As we gaze upon this photograph from 1890, we are transported not only through space but also through time. It allows us to marvel at Europe's rich architectural heritage spanning over two millennia – from ancient Rome to medieval times. The presence of stairs leading up towards the entrance invites our imagination further into this historical masterpiece. We can almost envision ourselves climbing those steps in anticipation, ready to explore what lies beyond those intricately carved doors. Brogi's skillful capture brings forth every nuance and texture found on this facade while Alinari ensures that it remains preserved for generations to come. This remarkable piece serves as a visual reminder that art transcends commercial use; it connects us with our past and enriches our understanding and appreciation for human creativity throughout history.
