EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the early morning serenity of the new cathedral's north-west facade, a masterpiece that began its construction in 1512. The talented duo of Gile de Hontanon and Juan de Rodrigo, with their remarkable architectural skills, brought this magnificent structure to life. Located in Salamanca, Castilla y Leon, Spain, the Catedral de Salamanca stands as a testament to their genius. The image showcases the stunning baroque design adorned with intricate details such as pinnacles and flying buttresses. The tower rises majestically into the sky while the Churriguera designed dome adds an extra touch of grandeur since its completion in 1725. It is fascinating to note that despite its commencement over three centuries earlier, this awe-inspiring cathedral was not fully completed until 1733. As you gaze at this photograph by John Bethell, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time to witness the Renaissance era come alive through architecture. The plaza mayor serves as a backdrop for this architectural marvel which seamlessly blends elements of plateresque and renaissance styles. With every glance at this print, one cannot help but appreciate both the artistic vision behind it and the immense effort put forth by countless craftsmen throughout history. This image truly encapsulates not only an extraordinary piece of art but also a symbol of human ingenuity and dedication standing tall against time itself.
