EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Interior of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria del Rosario in Pompeii. Designed by the talented architect Antonio Cua, this architectural masterpiece is a testament to neoclassical design from the 19th century. The photograph, taken around 1890, beautifully captures the intricate details and grandeur of this sacred space. The sanctuary's nave exudes elegance with its neoclassical elements that transport viewers back in time to Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. Every aspect of this artwork reflects Cua's meticulous craftsmanship. From the altar to the furnishings for sacred spaces, every element has been carefully designed and placed to create a harmonious atmosphere within these hallowed walls. The benches provide a place for contemplation while admiring the stunning arches and building elements that adorn this sanctuary. The attention to detail is evident in every corner of this photograph - from decorative architraves and capitals to pilaster strips that add depth and texture to each wall. The windows allow natural light to flood into space, illuminating delicate plasterwork that adds an ethereal touch. A striking feature captured in this image is a magnificent staircase leading towards unknown heights. Its presence signifies ascension both physically and spiritually, inviting visitors on a journey through faith within these historic walls. Brogi's skillful photography perfectly encapsulates not only Cua's architectural brilliance but also highlights Pompeii's rich history as it stood proudly during ancient times until its rediscovery centuries later. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Europe's architectural heritage while paying homage to Antonio Cua's remarkable talent as an architect who left an indelible mark on Pompeii’s cultural landscape.
