EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Apsidal view of the Church of S. Maria di Mili, south of Messina" takes us back in time to the heart of medieval Europe. The church, a magnificent example of Norman style architecture from the 11th century, stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The apsidal view reveals intricate details and elements that make this structure truly remarkable. From its exedra and tribune to various building sections, every aspect showcases the skilled craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during this period. The dome with its elegant cupola sits atop a sturdy bow-shaped drum, creating an imposing presence that commands reverence. As we delve deeper into the image, we can appreciate the religious significance attached to this Christian sanctuary. Its historical importance is evident as it has witnessed countless prayers and ceremonies throughout centuries past. Anderson's photograph captures not only the architectural beauty but also highlights specific decorative features that enhance its grandeur. The play between light and shadow adds depth to each carved stone column or ornate archway. Dating back almost a millennium ago, this artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity across different eras. It reminds us how structures like these have stood tall through wars, natural disasters, and societal changes – preserving history for generations yet unborn. Alinari's print allows us to admire this marvel from afar while appreciating its rich cultural heritage up close. It is an invitation for all who gaze upon it to immerse themselves in the splendorous world where art meets faith; where ancient stones whisper stories untold; where time itself seems suspended within those sacred walls.
