EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the rose window and portal tympanum on the façade of the Cathedral of Altamura, located in Apulia. The image transports us back to a bygone era, specifically the Late Gothic period during the Middle Ages. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly remarkable. Created between the 14th and 15th centuries, around 1534, by Maestro Antonio di Andria, it exemplifies his mastery as an artist. The low relief bas-relief technique used here adds depth and dimension to every detail. As we gaze upon this photograph captured sometime between 1920-1930, we are drawn into a world where architecture meets spirituality. The column and other building elements surrounding these magnificent features add to their grandeur. At first glance, one cannot help but notice a saintly figure depicted within this composition. This representation signifies its significance within Christian religion and serves as a reminder of devotion and faith. Nature intertwines with religious symbolism through vegetal elements such as vines or briers that gracefully adorn this masterpiece. These organic motifs further emphasize the connection between man-made structures and God's creation. This stunning piece not only reflects Europe's rich artistic heritage but also represents significant milestones spanning over two millennia – from medieval times to modernity. Alinari Fratelli has skillfully preserved this historical gem through their photography expertise. Their dedication ensures that future generations can appreciate both the architectural marvels of Altamura Cathedral and Maestro Antonio di Andria's exceptional talent for years to come.
