EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two architectural shrines and an ostensory, providing a glimpse into the rich history of sacred art. The left shrine is located in the Church of S. Paolo, while the right one stands proudly by the Metropolitan Opera in Bologna. These magnificent objects were prominently displayed at the Exhibition of Sacred Art held in Bologna back in 1900. The ostensory featured in this photograph belonged to none other than Count F. Cavazza's esteemed collection, adding an air of prestige and significance to its presence. Its intricate design and craftsmanship speak volumes about the devotion and reverence it once commanded. Dating back to the late Gothic period, these relics are a testament to Europe's artistic heritage during the Middle Ages. They offer a window into a time when faith played an integral role in society, shaping both religious practices and artistic expression. Captured between 1915 and 1920 by Alinari, Fratelli, this image beautifully encapsulates not only these remarkable works but also their historical context. It serves as a visual reminder of how art has always been intertwined with spirituality throughout human civilization. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we can't help but marvel at the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating these architectural wonders so many centuries ago. They stand as enduring symbols of devotion and serve as reminders of our collective cultural heritage—a tangible link connecting us to those who came before us. In preserving this moment through photography, Alinari has immortalized these sacred artifacts for generations to come—allowing us all to appreciate their beauty from afar while contemplating their profound spiritual significance.
