EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Villa d'Este in Tivoli, Lazio, Italy. The 16th-century architectural masterpiece, designed by Pirro Ligorio for Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este, is a testament to the grandeur and artistic prowess of the Renaissance period. The villa, nestled in the lush Italian countryside, is a harmonious blend of architecture and nature. The intricately designed building, with its terraced gardens and ornate fountains, is a feast for the eyes. The steps leading up to the villa, adorned with vibrant plants and flowers, add to the allure of this historic site. Johnston's hand-coloured photograph captures the essence of this Italian gem, with its rich colours and meticulous attention to detail. The lantern slide, which would have been used for projection in educational and entertainment settings, highlights the architectural and historical significance of the villa. The villa's gardens, designed by Pirro Ligorio himself, are a work of art in their own right. The terraced levels, filled with an array of plants and flowers, cascade down the hillside, leading the eye to the stunning views of the Italian countryside beyond. This image is a snapshot in time, transporting us back to the 1920s and allowing us to experience the beauty and grandeur of Villa d'Este as it was over 90 years ago. A true treasure of both architectural and historical significance, this photograph is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the art and culture of the past.
