EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Villa Lante in Bagnaia, Lazio, Italy. The estate, nestled in the heart of Europe, is a testament to the rich architectural and artistic heritage of Italy during the 16th century. The image captures the stunning detail of the villa's gardens, designed by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola and Carlo Maderno. The stepping cascade, an earliest example of this design, is a focal point of the photograph. The intricate hedge work, hand-tinted in color, frames the terraced water feature, leading the eye through the lush grounds. Villa Lante, a masterpiece of Mannerist architecture, is a harmonious blend of building and nature. The perspective of the photograph, with its careful framing and composition, highlights the architectural grandeur of the villa and the serene beauty of the surrounding landscape. Frances Benjamin Johnston, an American photographer and architectural recordist, captured this image as part of her extensive documentation of historic buildings and gardens. Her meticulous hand-coloring technique adds a vibrant and timeless quality to the photograph, making it a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's collection. This photograph not only serves as a visual record of Villa Lante's history, but also as a testament to the enduring allure of Italian architecture and garden design. The image invites us to explore the intricacies of the villa's design and to appreciate the harmony between the built environment and the natural world.
