EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Santa Maria Assunta Basilica and its bell tower in Alcamo. The image captures the essence of this stunning architectural masterpiece, which combines Baroque and Renaissance styles, representing Europe's rich cultural heritage from the first and second millenniums. The photograph was taken around 1890, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era when this grand basilica stood tall as a symbol of faith and artistic excellence. The artwork itself dates back to 1669 and 1785, created by renowned Italian artists Angelo Italia, Diamante Giuseppe, Cordona Francesco. Every intricate detail is captured in this print – from the ornate street lamp illuminating the urban landscape to the exquisite furnishings that adorn civic spaces. The wrought metal objects add a touch of elegance while highlighting the craftsmanship of applied arts and crafts during that time. The imposing bell tower stands proudly alongside the basilica's portal, showcasing various building elements such as architraves, capitals, domes, cupolas, pilaster strips, windows with elaborate tympanums. A tiburium crowns it all with an air of majesty. Nature plays its part too; clouds hover above like meteorological phenomena while trees provide a natural backdrop for this architectural marvel. Their lush foliage adds a touch of serenity to an otherwise bustling cityscape. A festooned gate fence leads up to stairs adorned with renaissance baroque motifs – inviting visitors on a journey through history as they ascend towards spiritual enlightenment within these hallowed walls. This remarkable print by Brogi allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of Santa Maria Assunta Basilica in Alcamo. It serves as a testament to human creativity and devotion throughout centuries past - reminding us that art transcends time itself.
