EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the left aisle of Messina's Cathedral, an architectural masterpiece that stands as a testament to Gothic design in Europe. The photograph, taken between 1900-1907 by Brogi from Alinari, captures the essence of this sacred space with remarkable detail. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the exquisite altar at the center of the frame. Adorned with intricate carvings and delicate embellishments, it serves as a focal point for worshipers who enter this hallowed place. Surrounding the altar are various elements and furnishings specifically designed for sacred spaces - each carefully placed to enhance spiritual experiences. The architecture itself is awe-inspiring; towering arches reach towards heaven while pilaster strips add verticality and elegance. The floor beneath our feet tells stories of countless footsteps over centuries, worn smooth by time yet still resilient. Sunlight streams through stained glass windows, casting vibrant hues onto every surface they touch. Our attention is then captured by a beautifully crafted niche housing a sculpture or statuette - perhaps depicting saints or biblical figures - inviting contemplation and reverence. Above these niches lies an entablature adorned with decorative motifs that further enriches the visual tapestry surrounding us. Dating back to XII-XIII century but spanning across multiple centuries until XX sec. , Messina's Cathedral carries within its walls layers upon layers of history and spirituality. This print allows us to appreciate not only its grandeur but also its significance as a cultural heritage site representing both medieval times and modern-day devotion. In this single snapshot frozen in time, G. A. Montorsoli's artistic vision merges seamlessly with Brogi's photographic expertise – capturing forevermore the beauty and magnificence found within Messina's Cathedral left aisle.
