EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the left side of the magnificent Cathedral of Como, located in Como, Italy. The cathedral is a true masterpiece that seamlessly combines Renaissance and Baroque styles, making it a remarkable example of European architecture from the first and second millenniums. The photograph was taken around 1915-1920 by Alinari, Fratelli, capturing the timeless beauty of this historic structure. The artwork itself dates back to 1445-1486 and was created by talented artists such as da Bont, Fiorino, Rodari, Giovanni, Scarabota, Luchino, da Lurago, Amuzio. Their skillful craftsmanship can be seen in every detail - from the intricate portal to the various building elements and decorations. One cannot help but admire the grandeur of this architectural marvel. The arches gracefully curve towards a majestic dome adorned with an elegant cupola and lantern on top. Above the entrance lies a striking tympanum surrounded by lunettes that depict scenes from religious history. Buttresses provide structural support while adding visual interest to this work of art. Sculptures are scattered throughout its facade - each one telling its own story within the larger narrative of Renaissance Europe. A single light window illuminates part of this breathtaking composition with soft rays filtering through stained glass panels. This combination of Renaissance-Baroque styles creates a harmonious blend that has stood strong for centuries. Alinari's print captures not only the physical beauty but also evokes a sense of awe-inspiring spirituality emanating from within these sacred walls. It serves as a reminder that great art transcends time and continues to inspire generations long after its creation.
