EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Palermo. The focal point of the image is the magnificent Saint Mary of Jesus Convent, a true testament to Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque architecture. Built between 1422 and 1471, this grand structure stands proudly against the backdrop of a bustling urban square. The intricate details of the convent's portal immediately catch our attention, with its elaborate building elements and decorative sections. The craftsmanship is impeccable, showcasing the skillful hands that brought this architectural marvel to life. A beautiful window adorns one side of the building, allowing glimpses into what lies within. In front of the convent, a charming basin adds an element of tranquility to this vibrant scene. Its hydraulic design speaks volumes about the advanced engineering techniques employed during that era. Surrounding it are sculptures depicting various figures from history or mythology—a true work of art amidst nature's greenery. To reach this architectural masterpiece, one must ascend a majestic staircase adorned with renaissance-style balustrades—each step leading closer to awe-inspiring beauty. As we immerse ourselves in this photograph captured around 1890 by Brogi from Alinari, we can't help but imagine what life was like during those times—the sound of footsteps echoing through these historic halls and laughter filling every corner. This print serves as a timeless reminder not only of Palermo's rich cultural heritage but also as an homage to human ingenuity throughout different periods in history. It invites us to appreciate both ancient craftsmanship and natural splendor while igniting our curiosity about centuries long past.
