EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mill with water running under the Borgia Castle in Nepi" takes us on a journey through time and space. The image showcases the mesmerizing beauty of an ancient mill nestled beneath the majestic Borgia Castle in Nepi, Italy. Dating back to the 15th century, this early Renaissance castle stands as a testament to Europe's rich history and architectural marvels. Its walls exude strength and resilience, serving both military and defensive purposes throughout its existence. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to a bygone era where fortified towers like these were essential for protection. The focal point of this composition is undoubtedly the watermill itself. It symbolizes not only farming and country life but also represents rural communities' reliance on such structures for their livelihoods. The cascading waterfall adds an element of tranquility amidst the grandeur of the castle, creating a harmonious blend between nature and human ingenuity. Captured around 1890 by Anderson from Alinari, this photograph encapsulates multiple artistic styles prevalent during that period - from early Renaissance to Renaissance-Baroque influences. Through Antonio da Sangallo's lens, we witness his mastery in capturing both architecture and landscape seamlessly. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, let us appreciate its historical significance while acknowledging that it transcends mere commercial use. This print invites us to reflect upon our connection with nature, our roots in rural life, and our appreciation for centuries-old architectural wonders that continue to inspire awe even after hundreds of years have passed.
