EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, standing proudly on the Grand Canal in Venice. The basilica is a true testament to the Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles that defined Europe during the first and second millenniums. The photograph was taken between 1860 and 1870, capturing a moment frozen in time. However, it is important to note that the artwork itself dates back even further, from 1631 to 1687. It was created by the talented artist Baldassarre Longhena, who skillfully designed every detail of this architectural masterpiece. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to its dome and cupola which dominate the skyline. The building elements and intricate decorations showcase Longhena's genius as an architect. The loggia adds an elegant touch while the bell tower stands tall as a symbol of faith. The basilica not only serves as a place of worship but also holds historical significance for Venice. Its strategic location along the canal made it easily accessible for both naval and river transportation in centuries past. Surrounded by urban landscapes and lagoons, this church offers breathtaking views of Venice's enchanting cityscape. Its presence evokes feelings of awe and reverence among those who visit or simply admire it through photographs like this one captured by Giovanni Battista Brusa. Let us appreciate this remarkable piece of artistry that represents centuries-old history intertwined with religious devotion. This print allows us to marvel at the grandeur of European architecture while immersing ourselves in Venetian culture and heritage - truly a treasure worth cherishing for generations to come.
