EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent chests containing the mortal remains of the kings of Naples, housed in the sacristy of the church of San Domenico Maggiore in Naples. The image transports us to a bygone era, capturing the essence of Europe's rich history and architectural marvels. The sacristy itself is a testament to both Renaissance and Baroque styles, with its intricate details and ornate furnishings. Built during the eighteenth century, it stands as a remarkable example of European architecture from that period. The balustrade adds an elegant touch to this sacred space, while various building elements contribute to its grandeur. In this photograph, we see several beautifully crafted chests that hold within them the mortal remains of past kings who once ruled over Naples. These regal resting places are not only objects but also symbols representing centuries-old dynasties and their legacies. The composition captures every minute detail with precision – from the chest's exquisite craftsmanship to its decorative sections. It allows us to appreciate not only their historical significance but also their artistic value. Dating back hundreds of years ago, these chests have witnessed countless events throughout history. They serve as silent witnesses to power struggles, political upheavals, and cultural transformations that have shaped Naples into what it is today. Through Alinari's lens, we are transported back in time – immersed in an atmosphere where reverence meets artistry. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in death, these kings continue to command respect and admiration for their contributions to Neapolitan society. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork captured on film nearly a century ago (circa 1920-1930), let us reflect on how our understanding of history can be enriched through visual storytelling like this timeless masterpiece by Alinari Fratelli.
