EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-001534-0000" transports us back in time to the late 19th century, capturing a remarkable sight on the left flank of the Cathedral in Como. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the awe-inspiring 'Porta della Rana' or 'Door of the Frog, ' which stands proudly against the backdrop of an ancient stone wall. Dating back to 1491-1509, this architectural masterpiece showcases intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship that have stood the test of time. Created by renowned artists Rodari, Tommaso and Giacomo, it serves as a testament to their skill and devotion. The scene depicted here is one rooted in Christian religion and biblical history. We witness a moment from the New Testament where two significant figures converge - Virgin Mary and St. Elizabeth. This particular event known as "Visitation" symbolizes unity, faith, and divine intervention. As we explore further into this photograph's composition, we notice delicate vegetal elements surrounding these holy figures. Lush foliage gracefully intertwines with their presence, adding depth to their spiritual connection with nature. Nessi's artistic lens has beautifully captured not only historical architecture but also profound religious symbolism within this single frame. Through his lens, we are transported through time to witness an extraordinary moment frozen forever. This print from Alinari allows us to appreciate both artistry and spirituality simultaneously – reminding us that beauty can be found not only in physical structures but also in moments that transcend time itself.
