EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting kitchen of Florence's Davanzati Palace. The image, skillfully reconstructed by Elia Volpi, showcases the antique furnishings that once adorned this historical space. Stepping into this expository hall from the Middle Ages, we are transported to Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. The photograph itself was captured between 1920-1930, while the original artwork dates back to the XIV century. Every element in this kitchen tells a story of its own. From chairs and tables to fireplaces and benches, each piece of furniture reflects a bygone era. The chandelier hanging above illuminates the room with its wrought metal craftsmanship, adding an air of elegance. The objects scattered throughout serve as reminders of daily life during those times – kitchenwares hint at culinary practices and diet choices, bottles stand ready for use, and a tablecloth drapes gracefully over a sturdy table. As our eyes wander further into the frame, we notice architectural details such as arches, doors, floors adorned with intricate moldings; ceilings embellished with decorative sections; niches displaying statues; beams supporting the structure; sculptures adorning every corner; vases holding delicate flowers; trays waiting patiently for their purpose. This remarkable photograph not only captures an exquisite moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into history through applied arts and crafts. It is evident that great care has been taken to preserve these treasures from medieval Europe. Brogi Giacomo's Stabilimento fotografico Alinari has truly brought this masterpiece to life through their expert lensmanship. This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and historians alike - transporting us effortlessly across centuries within just one frame.
