EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the magnificent cathedral of San Sabino in Bari, Puglia. The focal point of this image is a stunning window nestled within the apse of the cathedral, showcasing the remarkable Romanesque architecture that characterizes this sacred place. Dating back to the 12th century, this window stands as a testament to Europe's rich medieval history and artistic heritage. Its intricate design and delicate details speak volumes about the craftsmanship of its creators during a time when every stroke was meticulously handcrafted. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn not only to the architectural marvel but also to an unexpected surprise - an elephant-like figure known as a sphinx. This hybrid creature from mythology adds an element of intrigue and mystique to an already enchanting scene. Surrounded by lush vegetation and vegetal elements, we are reminded of nature's harmonious presence amidst human creations. It serves as a reminder that even in grand structures like cathedrals, there is room for organic beauty and life. The photographer behind this masterpiece is Alinari, Fratelli who captured it between 1920-1930. Through their lens, they have preserved not just a moment frozen in time but also centuries' worth of history and culture. This print invites us on a journey through time - from ancient Greco-Roman influences to Europe's first millennium up until modern times. It reminds us that art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends eras and connects us with our past. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, this artwork by Alinari serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and a gateway into history itself.
