EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early Middle Ages in Europe, specifically to the grand entrance of the Basilica of St. Peter in Perugia. The photograph, taken around 1890, captures the timeless beauty and architectural marvels of this religious structure. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the majestic bell tower that proudly stands tall against a clear sky. Its intricate design showcases various building elements such as arches, entablatures, cusps, and spires. The open gallery on top offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding urban landscape. As we explore further into this photograph, our eyes are drawn to other notable features. A two-light window adorns one side of the entrance while an avenue leads us towards it from afar. This road symbolizes not only physical passage but also represents a journey through time itself. One cannot help but notice a clock prominently displayed on one side of the basilica's facade. This instrument serves as both a practical time measurement tool and a symbolic reminder for all who pass by. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured not just an architectural wonder but also a spiritual sanctuary that has withstood centuries of change and progress. Through their lens, they have frozen in time an important piece of history - an enduring testament to human ingenuity and devotion. This print is more than just art; it is an invitation to immerse oneself in European history during its formative years - when Christianity flourished and monumental structures like these were erected with unwavering faith.
