EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic back view of the Basilica of Saint Andrew at Vercelli, a true testament to Romanesque architecture in Europe during the Middle Ages. The photograph, taken in 1956 by Alinari, Fratelli, beautifully showcases the intricate details and grandeur of this historical masterpiece. Dating back to approximately 1219-1227 AD, the Basilica stands as a symbol of Christian faith and religious devotion. Its towering bell tower dominates the skyline, reaching towards the heavens as if calling upon believers to gather within its sacred walls. The image highlights various architectural elements that make this basilica truly remarkable. The rose window adorns its façade with delicate tracery patterns, allowing soft rays of sunlight to filter through and illuminate its interior. Each building section is meticulously crafted with precision and care, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during this era. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an age where spirituality was intertwined with artistry. The two-light windows and three-light windows create a harmonious balance between light and shadow within these hallowed halls.
