EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Tomb of Rolandino dei Romanzi, located in the Municipal Cemetery of the Carthusian monastery in Bologna. Steeped in history and architectural grandeur, this Romanesque masterpiece dates back to the 13th century, representing a significant relic from the Middle Ages. The photograph, taken around 1900 by Alinari, Fratelli, beautifully captures every intricate detail of this monumental tomb. The image transports us to a time long gone but not forgotten. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to an era when Europe was still emerging as a cultural powerhouse. Intriguingly adorned with various elements such as lions and terrestrial mammals carved into its structure, this tomb is truly awe-inspiring. The presence of flowers and vegetation adds a touch of natural beauty amidst the stone marvels created by human hands centuries ago. The composition itself is striking; each leaf and vegetal element carefully placed to create harmony within this medieval work of art. It serves as a reminder that even during tumultuous times like those experienced during the first and second millennium A. D. , beauty could still flourish. Alinari's photograph allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved but also provides insight into how people revered their departed loved ones during that period. This visual documentation offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own mortality while appreciating the rich tapestry woven throughout European history. As we admire this remarkable print today, let us remember that it represents more than just an ancient tomb – it symbolizes our connection with past civilizations and reminds us of our shared humanity across time.
