EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing stone lion, capturing the intricate detail from the portal of the Collegiata di San Quirico d'Orcia in San Quirico d'Orcia. This Romanesque masterpiece takes us back to the Middle Ages, immersing us in the rich history and architectural wonders of Europe. The photograph was taken around 1970, allowing us to admire this remarkable artwork that dates back to 1080 AD. The lion stands proudly as a symbol of strength and power, its meticulously carved features revealing the skill and craftsmanship of its creators. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported through time, imagining ourselves standing before this magnificent structure. The column and building elements surrounding the lion add depth and context to its presence, reminding us of its integral role within the architecture. The sculpture's Romanesque style evokes a sense of awe and reverence for an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and artistic expression during one of Europe's most transformative periods – spanning across both the first and second millenniums. Balocchi Vincenzo's keen eye has expertly captured every nuance in this photograph print. Through his lens, he invites us into a world where art meets history; where ancient stones whisper tales from centuries past. This print is more than just an image; it is a gateway into another time – an opportunity to appreciate both artistry and heritage. Whether displayed in homes or galleries alike, it serves as a reminder that our collective past continues to shape our present-day existence.
