EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of history within the walls of the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi. The focal point is a magnificent pulpit, proudly standing in the Upper Church, showcasing its intricate details and craftsmanship from the Umbrian school of the fourteenth century. As one gazes upon this image, they are transported back in time to an era where faith and art merged seamlessly. The pulpit's Late Gothic design reflects a bygone age when Europe was immersed in the Middle Ages, evoking a sense of awe and wonder at its sheer grandeur. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown, but their talent shines through every curve and contour carved into this sacred object. It serves as a testament to their dedication to both their craft and Christian religion. Surrounded by columns that reach towards heaven itself, this pulpit stands as a symbol of devotion within the basilica's hallowed halls. Its presence invites contemplation and reflection for all who enter, reminding them of Saint Francis' teachings on humility and simplicity. Photographed in 1901 by Anderson from Alinari, this print preserves not only an exquisite work of sculpture but also an important piece of history. It encapsulates centuries worth of stories whispered among these ancient walls – tales told by saints, clergy members, friars, and devout worshippers who sought solace within these sacred grounds. Whether viewed through artistic appreciation or religious reverence, this photograph immortalizes a moment frozen in time – capturing not just an object but also emotions felt throughout generations.
