EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent façade of the church of Santa Maria Maggiore, located in Monte Sant'Angelo, Apulia. With its Romanesque architecture dating back to the 12th century, this stunning piece of art transports us to a bygone era in Europe's rich history. The photograph captures every intricate detail of this architectural masterpiece. The portal stands proudly at the center, inviting visitors into a world steeped in religious and cultural significance. Its grandeur is enhanced by the meticulously crafted building elements that surround it – from decorative sections to arches and columns. One cannot help but be mesmerized by the rose window adorning the upper part of the façade. Its delicate tracery creates an ethereal play of light within the church's interior, adding an air of mysticism to this sacred place. Every element tells a story: capitals adorned with intricately carved motifs; columns standing tall as guardians of time; pilaster strips dividing space with elegance and precision; windows allowing glimpses into a world beyond our own; and finally, a tympanum that serves as both artistic expression and testament to faith. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured between 1920-1930, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its enduring beauty. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully preserved this moment in time for future generations to appreciate. Let us immerse ourselves in this visual feast that transcends centuries – an ode to Romanesque architecture, medieval Europe, and humanity's unwavering pursuit for spiritual connection throughout the first and second millenniums AD.
