EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide image, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the breathtaking Villa Farnese in Caprarola, Lazio, Italy. The seventeenth-century architectural masterpiece, designed by Giacomo (Jacopo) Barozzi de Vignola, is a harmonious blend of house architecture and landscaping. The villa, nestled on a hillside, boasts a stunning view of the surrounding hills and valleys. Villa Farnese is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Baroque era. The architect, Giacomo Barozzi de Vignola, not only designed the building but also the gardens, creating a seamless connection between the two. The landscape design features intricate terraces, fountains, and sculptures, including works by Pietro Bernini. The hand-coloured lantern slide, taken in the 1920s, offers a unique perspective of this historic site. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the villa and its grounds to life, transporting viewers to the picturesque Italian countryside. The lantern slide is a valuable addition to the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the rich architectural and artistic heritage of Italy. Frances Benjamin Johnston, an American photographer and architectural historian, captured this image during her travels through Europe. Her work, including this lantern slide, continues to inspire and inform our understanding of the historical and cultural significance of buildings and landscapes around the world.
