EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Villa Bel Riposo, Fiesole i.e. San Domenico, 'Cedars of Lebanon,'" was taken by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925. The image is a stunning representation of the picturesque Villa Bel Riposo, located in the hills of Fiesole, near San Domenico, in the province of Florence, Tuscany, Italy. The villa, with its elegant architecture and lush gardens, is nestled among the rolling hills and boasts a breathtaking view of the Italian countryside. The photograph's focal point is the majestic Cedars of Lebanon, which gracefully line the terrace of the villa. These ancient evergreen trees, with their distinctive conical shape and thick, glossy foliage, add a sense of timeless beauty and tranquility to the scene. The trees, which were likely brought from Lebanon and planted in the villa's gardens during the Roman era, have been a source of inspiration for artists and poets for centuries. Johnston's composition expertly captures the interplay of light and shadow, as the sunlight filters through the branches of the cedars, casting intricate patterns on the terracotta pots and the stone walls of the villa. The detail in the image, from the delicate flowers in the pots to the textured ceramics and the intricate architectural details, showcases Johnston's exceptional skill as a photographer. This photograph was displayed in Johnston's 1926 Ferargil Galleries exhibition and is now part of the historic collection at the Library of Congress. It is a testament to the enduring allure of Italy's rich cultural heritage and the beauty of its natural landscapes.
