EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Matera, Puglie in Italy. Taken by German photographer and artist Kurt Hielscher in the 1930s, this image is part of his collection titled "Unknown Italy". The print showcases a historic illustration for his book, which was published in 1941. Matera, located in the region of Puglia (also known as Apulia), exudes an air of mystery and history. The city's ancient stone dwellings, known as Sassi di Matera, are carved into the cliffsides and have been inhabited since prehistoric times. These unique structures make Matera one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in the world. In this photograph, Hielscher skillfully captures the essence of Matera's rugged charm. The intricate details etched into each dwelling tell stories from centuries past. As you gaze at this image, you can almost imagine yourself wandering through its narrow streets and feeling a sense of awe at its timeless beauty. The monochromatic tones add to the nostalgic atmosphere evoked by this photo print. It serves as a reminder that even though time has passed since Hielscher captured this moment on film, Matera still stands proudly today as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage. This fine art print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only Hielscher's artistic talent but also provides us with a glimpse into an era long gone yet forever preserved within these walls.
