EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured by Alinari, Fratelli, transports us to the serene garden of the Basilica of S. Sabina in Rome. The image showcases a monk deep in prayer amidst the lush greenery, with a magnificent orange tree as his backdrop. According to tradition, this very tree was planted by none other than S. Domenicus himself - the revered founder of the convent. The scene exudes tranquility and spirituality as we witness this devoted clergyman communing with his faith in such a picturesque setting. His eyes closed in devotion, hands clasped together in reverence; he appears completely absorbed in his connection with a higher power. The presence of the orange tree adds an intriguing layer to this already enchanting composition. Its branches laden with ripe fruits symbolize abundance and fertility while also serving as a testament to centuries-old traditions that have been passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this print from 1920-1930 ca. , we are reminded not only of the beauty found within nature but also of our own capacity for introspection and spiritual growth. This photograph captures a moment frozen in time - one that invites contemplation and reflection on our own beliefs and values. Alinari's skillful use of light and shadow enhances every detail within this frame, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves into this sacred space. It is an invitation to explore our own inner sanctuaries while marveling at the wonders that exist beyond our reach. This remarkable image serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a window into history – reminding us of the enduring power of faith, tradition, and nature's profound influence on humanity's spiritual journey.
