EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the enchanting Old Convent of Santa Maria a Belvedere in Cetona, near Siena. The image, taken by Alinari, Fratelli in 1958, beautifully captures the essence of this Gothic masterpiece that dates back to around 1367. The grandeur of the Cetona Church's facade is awe-inspiring. Its intricate architecture showcases the skill and craftsmanship of the Middle Ages. Each building element tells a story, from the majestic arches to the sturdy columns that support them. The two-light window stands as a testament to centuries past and offers a glimpse into Europe's rich history. Nature gracefully intertwines with man-made structures in this composition. A solitary cypress tree proudly stands beside the church, symbolizing longevity and strength. The surrounding vegetation adds an element of serenity and tranquility to this ancient place. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported through time - imagining what life was like during those first and second millennia AD when this architectural marvel was constructed. It serves as a reminder of our connection to our ancestors who built these magnificent structures with their bare hands. Alinari's photograph not only captures the physical beauty but also evokes emotions tied to nostalgia and wonderment. It reminds us that art has no expiration date; it transcends generations and continues to inspire even decades after its creation. Let us cherish this remarkable piece for what it represents – an enduring testament to human creativity and ingenuity throughout history – reminding us that there is so much more waiting for us beyond what meets the eye.
