EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic North-west side of the renowned Castello Sforzesco, adorned with the enchanting Torre Falconiera. The image transports us to Milan's historic Piazza Castello, where this tower stands as a testament to the city's rich Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Dating back to both the 14th and 19th centuries, this architectural marvel showcases Europe's enduring beauty across different millennia. The photograph itself was taken between 1900-1910, while the artwork it portrays dates even further into history. The print showcases various elements of wrought metal craftsmanship that embellish this magnificent structure. From arches and windows to roofs and turrets, every detail exudes elegance and grandeur. The corbels add depth to its overall structure while emphasizing its military and defensive purpose. Beyond its architectural significance, this photo also offers a glimpse into daily life in Milan during that time period. In the bustling square below, children engage in games and pastimes such as hoop rolling—a charming scene that reflects an era long gone by. As we explore further into the image's intricate details, we are captivated by fashion choices of yesteryears—specifically clothing designed for children at that time. This snapshot not only provides a view of the city but also offers us a window into historical street scenes filled with action. Brogi masterfully captured this moment in time from Alinari—an artistic endeavor that transcends commercial use or any mention thereof. Through his lens, he immortalized an iconic gate fence framing two light windows on an avenue road leading towards endless possibilities within Milan's vibrant streetscape. In essence, this remarkable print encapsulates both timeless beauty and historical significance—a true treasure for art enthusiasts seeking glimpses into Europe's glorious past.
