EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent main altar of the Church of S. Giovanni dei Fiorentini in Rome, a true masterpiece by Borromini. The intricate details of this Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque style artwork are brought to life through the lens, capturing every column and pilaster made with exquisite Sicilian jasper. At the center of this grand altar stands a marble group depicting the Baptism of Christ, skillfully sculpted by Antonio Raggi. The photograph beautifully captures the delicate features and emotions portrayed in this religious scene, transporting viewers back to a time when faith was celebrated through art. The Church of S. Giovanni dei Fiorentini itself is an architectural gem that dates back centuries, representing Europe's rich history spanning both the first and second millenniums A. D. Its presbytery altar exemplifies the fusion of different styles and periods, showcasing elements from both Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque eras. Francesco Castelli, known as Borromini, undoubtedly left his mark on this sacred space with his masterful craftsmanship evident in every detail. From capital to building elements to decoration sections, his expertise shines through. This remarkable photograph was captured around 1917 but immortalizes an artwork created between 1615-1667. It serves as a testament to timeless beauty that transcends generations. As we gaze upon this image taken by Anderson from Alinari, we can't help but marvel at how art has always been intertwined with religion throughout history – inspiring awe and devotion for centuries past and present.
