EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Gateway of the Certosa in Pavia, Italy, dating back to 1890. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The Certosa di Pavia is a renowned monastery located in Lombardy, commissioned by Gian Galeazzo Visconti and constructed between 1396 and 1495 under the guidance of architect Marco Solari. The image was featured in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History, Vol. III - The Middle Ages" by Edmund Ollier, a literary work published by Cassell and Company Ltd. during that era. It showcases the intricate details of this fifteenth-century architectural masterpiece with its grand facade adorned with heraldic symbols and coats of arms. In this monochrome photograph, we see a man standing near the gateway alongside two children, providing scale to appreciate the monumental size of this historic structure. The serene atmosphere surrounding them highlights the religious significance associated with such monasteries during medieval times. This print serves as a visual time capsule transporting us back to nineteenth-century Europe when literature and art were intertwined mediums for storytelling.
