EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of the central nave of the Palatina Chapel, Palermo" takes us on a journey through time to experience the grandeur of this medieval masterpiece. The photograph, taken around 1929, beautifully captures the essence of this sacred space that dates back to the years between 1130 and 1166. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent chandelier hanging from above. This exquisite piece serves as a focal point amidst an array of stunning furnishings that adorn the chapel's central nave. Each element meticulously crafted with precision and care, showcasing the mastery of applied arts and crafts during this period. The balustrade along with its marble columns add an air of elegance to this architectural marvel. Our gaze then ascends towards a beautifully decorated archway leading us further into the heart of this sacred sanctuary. Mosaic ornamentation adorns every inch of these walls, depicting intricate scenes that tell stories from Norman times. Our attention is also captured by a remarkable capital atop one column, displaying intricate carvings that speak volumes about Europe's rich history during those first and second millennia. A staircase gracefully winds its way up towards unknown destinations within these hallowed halls. It serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, people sought higher ground both physically and spiritually. Anderson's skillful photography allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty but also feel connected to centuries past when artisans dedicated their lives to creating spaces like these for worshipers seeking solace in their faith. In conclusion, Alinari has presented us with an extraordinary glimpse into European history through Anderson's lens - reminding us how artistry transcends time itself.
