EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Florence's Santa Maria Novella, a magnificent Gothic church that stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural splendor of the Middle Ages in Europe. The photograph, taken in 1971 by Quilici Folco from Alinari, offers a unique perspective on this iconic landmark. Dating back to the years between 1221 and 1360, Santa Maria Novella was created by a group of talented artists including Sisto, fra', Giovanni da Campi, fra', Ristoro, fra', and Talenti Jacopo. Their combined efforts resulted in an awe-inspiring structure that seamlessly blends religious significance with remarkable craftsmanship. The image showcases not only the grandeur of this medieval masterpiece but also its strategic location within Florence's urban landscape. Situated near a bustling square or piazza and surrounded by other architectural wonders, Santa Maria Novella serves as both a spiritual sanctuary and an integral part of the city's vibrant atmosphere. From this aerial viewpoint captured by Quilici Folco's lens, one can appreciate how Santa Maria Novella harmoniously coexists with modern elements such as railway tracks leading to nearby transportation hubs. This juxtaposition highlights Florence's ability to preserve its historical heritage while embracing progress. As we gaze upon this birds-eye view photograph bathed in warm sunlight, we are transported through time. We witness centuries' worth of devotion and artistic brilliance encapsulated within these walls. It is a reminder that even amidst constant change and evolution, certain landmarks endure as symbols of faith and cultural identity. Quilici Folco's print invites us to marvel at the majesty of Santa Maria Novella—a true masterpiece standing tall against the backdrop of Florence’s ever-evolving skyline.
