EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite portal that forms a significant part of the façade of Palazzo Rusconi, later known as Dondini-Ghiselli, in Bologna. Constructed between 1751 and 1753 by the talented architect Alfonsi Torreggiani, who also crafted this magnificent entrance, this architectural masterpiece is a testament to the Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods prevalent during Europe's first and second millennium. The photograph itself was captured around 1920-1930 by Alinari, Fratelli – an esteemed name synonymous with preserving timeless art through their lens. The image beautifully captures every intricate detail of this historical structure, allowing viewers to appreciate its grandeur even decades after its creation. As we delve into the composition of this artwork, we are drawn to various elements that make it truly remarkable. From the elegant capitals adorning pilaster strips to meticulously designed windows framed with precision, each aspect contributes to the overall harmony and splendor of Palazzo Rusconi's façade. The central focal point is undoubtedly the striking tympanum that commands attention with its elaborate decoration. Beyond being a mere building or housing structure, this palatial edifice stands as a symbol of architectural brilliance from Italy's eighteenth century.
