EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-180139-0000" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the First World War. The image captures the aftermath of destruction as it focuses on the damaged door of the Basilica del Santo in Padua. The date of this poignant photograph is December 30th, 1917, when war ravaged Europe and left its mark on countless architectural treasures. The once grand entrance to this historic basilica now stands battered and broken, symbolizing the toll that conflict takes on society. As we examine this image closely, we are drawn to the intricate details of the door's building elements and decoration. Wrought metal panels tell stories through their craftsmanship, reflecting both a bygone era and an unfortunate present reality. Beyond being a mere object captured by an unidentified author from Alinari, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how world events shape our lives. It invites us to reflect upon themes such as society and politics, contemporary history subjects, and even applied arts and crafts. While not explicitly mentioned for commercial use purposes or associated with any particular company, this print transcends those limitations. Instead, it offers viewers an opportunity to delve into historical narratives that shaped our collective past. In essence, FVQ-F-180139-0000 encapsulates more than just a damaged door; it encapsulates human resilience amidst adversity while serving as a testament to our shared history during one of humanity's darkest periods – World War I.
