EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking view of the loggia of the Ospedale degli Innocenti, a remarkable architectural masterpiece built around 1420 by Filippo Brunelleschi. Located in Piazza Santissima Annunziata, Florence, Italy, this historic building is also known as the Foundling Hospital of the Innocents. The photograph showcases the exquisite Italian Renaissance architecture and perfectly highlights the harmonious proportions of this nine-bay loggia. Each bay is elegantly designed as a cube, creating a sense of balance and symmetry that is truly awe-inspiring. In addition to its architectural splendor, this image reveals another fascinating aspect – bronze fountains created by Pietro Tacca in 1629. These fountains add an extra touch of grandeur to an already magnificent setting. As we delve deeper into this picture's narrative, it becomes apparent that behind these stunning facades lies a poignant history. The Ospedale degli Innocenti served as an orphanage for abandoned children during its early years. This adds layers of emotion and significance to what initially appears to be just another beautiful structure. Through Giuliano Valsecchi's lens, we are transported back in time to witness not only exceptional craftsmanship but also glimpse into humanity's past struggles and triumphs. This print serves as both a visual delight and a reminder of our shared history – one where even amidst adversity, compassion found expression through art and architecture.
