EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling atmosphere of Piazza Santa Maria Novella in Florence. The focal point is the magnificent facade of the church, which showcases a harmonious blend of Early Renaissance, Renaissance, and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Its intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship are a testament to the artistic genius of Sisto, fra', Giovanni da Campi, fra', Ristoro, fra', Talenti, Jacopo, and Alberti Leon Battista. As we delve into this busy day view, our eyes are drawn to two obelisks on the right side of the frame. These towering structures are supported by bronze turtles sculpted by Giambologna. They stand as timeless symbols of strength and endurance amidst the vibrant energy that permeates this historic square. The photograph itself was taken around 1900 while showcasing an artwork that dates back centuries earlier - between 1278 and 1478. It serves as a visual bridge connecting different periods in European history. In addition to capturing architectural marvels like arches, doors, windows, towers, and commemorative elements within its frame; this image also offers glimpses into everyday life during that time period. A horse-drawn cart wheelbarrow can be seen traversing through the streets – a common mode of transportation at that time. Mannelli's lens skillfully portrays not just a static cityscape but rather a dynamic street scene filled with action and movement. This print invites us to immerse ourselves in Florence's rich heritage while appreciating both its historical significance and enduring beauty.
