EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of a Processional Cross in silver, showcasing the remarkable metalwork by Andreolo de' Bianchi. The cross is housed within the grandeur of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo, Italy. Dating back to 1376, this exquisite piece of art represents a significant relic from the Gothic era during the Middle Ages. Its presence evokes a sense of awe and reverence as it stands tall against the backdrop of history. The craftsmanship displayed on every inch of this cross is truly remarkable, reflecting the skill and dedication of its creator. As we gaze upon this photograph taken between 1915-1920, we are transported back in time to an era where faith played a central role in people's lives. This processional cross served as a symbol not only for religious ceremonies but also as a reminder of Jesus Christ's sacrifice and his eternal presence. The image invites us to contemplate our own connection with spirituality and reflect on how art has always been intertwined with religion throughout human history. It reminds us that even amidst changing times, certain traditions endure through centuries. Alinari Fratelli's expert photography allows us to appreciate every delicate detail captured in this print – from the ornate engravings adorning its surface to the graceful curves that define its shape. Through their lens, they have immortalized De' Bianchi's masterpiece for generations to come. This photograph serves as both an artistic testament and historical documentation – preserving not just an object but also capturing emotions tied to faith, culture, and heritage. It invites viewers into a world far removed from our own while reminding us that some things transcend time itself.
