EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent façade of the church of Santa Croce in Lecce, Italy. Standing proudly in Piazza Gabriele Riccardi, this architectural masterpiece is a harmonious blend of Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Captured between 1920-1930 by Alinari, Fratelli, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details and grandeur of this historic structure. The artwork itself dates back to 1549-1646 and was created by renowned artists Giuseppe Zimbalo, Gabriele Riccardi, and Cesare Penna. The façade is adorned with various building elements that add depth and character to its design. A prominent rose window serves as a focal point while columns gracefully frame the entrance. Elaborate friezes showcase delicate craftsmanship, depicting scenes from religious narratives. Every inch of this façade tells a story through its meticulously carved sculptures and statues. Each niche houses a unique figure or scene from biblical tales, inviting visitors to explore deeper into the spiritual realm within these walls. A striking tympanum crowns the entrance with its intricate detailing and symbolic significance. The prothyrum adds an extra layer of elegance to this already awe-inspiring sight. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art captured in time by Alinari's lens, we are transported back centuries ago when Europe flourished under these architectural marvels. This photograph encapsulates not only the beauty but also the historical importance of Lecce's Santa Croce church—a testament to human creativity throughout the first and second millenniums.
