EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed view of the choir stalls in the magnificent church of San Martino delle Scale, located in Monreale. The photograph, taken around 1910, beautifully captures the intricate craftsmanship and artistic mastery that went into creating these stunning pieces of furniture. The choir stalls, dating back to 1591-1597 and later restored in 1726-28 by talented artists such as Ferraro, Nunzio, Marino, Pietro, Vigilante, and Giovanbattista, exemplify both Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. These exquisite wooden structures serve as an essential element within sacred spaces like churches. As we delve into this image further, our eyes are drawn to the remarkable sculptural work adorning each stall. Intricate vegetal elements and compositions intertwine with columns and bundles of vegetation to create a harmonious blend of nature-inspired design. The European influence is evident throughout this artwork; it represents Europe's rich cultural heritage from both the first and second millenniums A. D. The chair seats exude elegance with their renaissance baroque style while maintaining functionality for those who would occupy them during religious ceremonies. Brogi's photography allows us to appreciate every minute detail captured within this print. It serves as a testament to his skillful eye for capturing architectural beauty through his lens. This print not only provides us with a glimpse into the past but also reminds us of the importance placed on artistry within sacred spaces. It invites us to marvel at the talent behind these meticulously crafted choir stalls that have stood tall for centuries in Monreale's church of San Martino delle Scale.
