EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate facade of the Madonna della Quercia Sanctuary in Viterbo, Italy. The sanctuary is a true testament to the Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles that flourished during Europe's first and second millenniums. The photograph, taken between 1940-1950, beautifully showcases the architectural masterpiece created by Carlo di Mariotto and Domenico di Iacopo da Firenzuola in 1509. Every detail of this remarkable artwork comes alive through the lens of Fernando Pasta from Alinari. At first glance, one cannot help but be drawn to the majestic lion standing proudly at the forefront. This terrestrial mammal symbolizes strength, power, and courage - characteristics often associated with religious sanctuaries. As it gazes into eternity, its presence adds an air of mystique to this sacred place. Surrounding the lion are lush oak trees intertwined with other vegetation, creating a harmonious blend of nature and human craftsmanship. The foliage serves as a backdrop for a crest or emblem adorning the facade – perhaps representing a noble family or institution closely tied to this holy site. As we delve deeper into this image, we notice subtle hints of crown-like structures reminiscent of European royalty during renaissance times. These elements further emphasize both historical significance and artistic grandeur present within these walls. Pasta's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only each individual element but also their collective impact on our senses. Through his lens, he has captured not just an architectural marvel but also a profound connection between past eras and contemporary viewers like ourselves. This print invites us on a journey through time - where artistry meets spirituality in perfect harmony. It reminds us that beauty can transcend centuries while leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and minds.
