EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking interior of the Church of Saint Sixtus in Viterbo, Italy. Dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries, this Romanesque church is a true testament to Europe's rich architectural heritage from the Middle Ages. The image transports us back in time as we gaze upon the central aisle of this magnificent sacred space. Every element within it exudes an air of spirituality and grandeur. The altar takes center stage, adorned with intricate furnishings that have witnessed countless religious ceremonies throughout history. As our eyes wander further, we are captivated by the arches and building elements that decorate every section of this awe-inspiring structure. The apse stands proudly at one end, while an exedra and tribune add depth and dimension to the overall design. Our attention is drawn towards various architectural features such as capitals, columns, pilasters, floors, vaults - each meticulously crafted to create a harmonious atmosphere conducive to worship. The nave stretches out before us like a pathway leading towards enlightenment. A pulpit stands nearby where sermons were once delivered with fervor and conviction. This photograph beautifully captures not only the physical aspects but also evokes a sense of reverence for its Christian origins. It serves as a reminder of how religion has shaped European culture over centuries. Brogi's skillful photography allows us to appreciate even finer details such as decorative string courses and single light windows that illuminate this sacred space with ethereal beauty. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Alinari dating between 1900-1910, let us reflect on its historical significance and appreciate how it connects us with our ancestors who sought solace within these hallowed walls during both joyous celebrations and moments of deep contemplation.
