EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the Graves in the Doria tomb, located within the historic Abbey of San Fruttuoso near Genoa. The image transports us back to a bygone era, immersing us in the rich history and architectural marvels of Europe during the Middle Ages. The Doria tomb, dating back to 1272-1305, stands as a testament to human craftsmanship and devotion. Made from exquisite marble, this object of applied arts and crafts showcases intricate details that have withstood the test of time. The arches, columns, vaults, and capitals adorning this funerary structure are awe-inspiring reminders of medieval architecture's grandeur. Within this crypt lies an atmosphere steeped in Christian symbolism and reverence for those who came before us. As we gaze upon these graves nestled within ancient walls, we can't help but feel a sense of connection to our ancestors from centuries past. Alinari's photograph expertly captures every nuance and texture present in this remarkable artwork. Taken between 1915-1920 ca. , it serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece itself. This evocative image invites contemplation on themes such as mortality, legacy, faith, and cultural heritage. It reminds us that even after hundreds of years have passed since its creation, art continues to speak volumes about our shared human experience. As we admire Alinari's work today—free from any commercial context—we are reminded once again that art transcends time and place; it allows us to connect with our collective past while also inspiring future generations yet unborn.
