EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of The Cathedral of San Martino in Lucca, Italy. Taken around 1890, it showcases the remarkable Romanesque architecture that has stood tall for centuries. The cathedral's origins date back to the year 1060, with subsequent additions made during the XIII century. Its sturdy arches and intricate building elements are a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of medieval Europe. As one gazes upon this print, they are transported back in time to an era filled with religious devotion and architectural marvels. The facade of The Cathedral of San Martino is adorned with delicate decorations and sections that add depth and character to its structure. The crenelation on top creates a sense of fortification, reminding us that this was not only a place of worship but also a symbol of power within the community. Standing proudly beside the main building is an impressive bell tower, reaching towards the heavens as if calling out to all who pass by. This Christian landmark holds great significance for both locals and visitors alike. Surrounded by a bustling urban square, this magnificent cathedral serves as a reminder of Lucca's rich history during the Middle Ages. It witnessed countless events throughout Europe's first and second millenniums - from joyous celebrations to solemn ceremonies. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured this timeless masterpiece through their lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This print allows us to appreciate not only its architectural splendor but also invites contemplation about our own place within history.
