EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the majestic Monreale Cathedral, located in Europe during the Middle Ages. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly "The choir of Monreale's Cathedral" showcasing its remarkable Norman style architecture. Dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. , this awe-inspiring artwork was created between 1174-1176. The intricate details of the balustrade, made from exquisite marble, are a testament to the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during that era. As our eyes wander through the photo, we are drawn towards the mosaic decorations adorning every inch of this sacred space. The arches and building elements surrounding "The choir" add an air of grandeur to this already magnificent structure. We can almost imagine hearing angelic voices resonating within these hallowed walls as they did centuries ago. The stairs leading up to "The choir" provide a sense of anticipation and reverence for those who ascend them. Brogi's expert photography captures not only the architectural beauty but also highlights various sections and decorations found throughout Monreale Cathedral. This visual masterpiece allows us to appreciate both its overall splendor as well as its minute intricacies. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph taken around 1890, it serves as a window into history—a snapshot frozen in time that reminds us of Europe's rich cultural heritage during the Middle Ages. It is a testament to human creativity and devotion that has stood strong for centuries.
