EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of the Choir in the Church of the Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey. The focal point of this ethereal scene is undoubtedly the exquisite wooden choir stalls, masterfully crafted by Fra' Giovanni da Verona during the High Renaissance period. The intricate details and craftsmanship of these stalls are truly awe-inspiring. Each stall showcases delicate carvings and ornate designs, showcasing Fra' Giovanni's exceptional talent as a woodworker. These magnificent pieces serve not only as functional furniture but also as works of art that enhance the sacred space they inhabit. The overall ambiance of this photograph exudes tranquility and reverence. The soft lighting gently illuminates every corner, casting a serene glow on each stall. It invites viewers to imagine themselves sitting among the monks who once filled these seats, their voices harmonizing in melodic prayer. Dating back to 1503-1505, these wooden choir stalls have witnessed centuries of devotion and spiritual contemplation within their hallowed walls. They stand as a testament to both human creativity and religious dedication throughout history. As we delve into this image captured between 1915-1920 by Brogi from Alinari, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the grandeur and majesty that defined European architecture during various periods – from Renaissance to Baroque styles. This photograph serves as a reminder of how artistry can transcend time, connecting us with our past while inspiring future generations.
