EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Villa Lante in Bagnaia, Lazio, Italy. A masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, the villa was designed by Giacomo (Jacopo) Barozzi da Vignola between 1568 and 1600. The architectural brilliance of Vignola is evident in the harmonious blend of the house and its surrounding landscape. Villa Lante is not just a building but a living work of art. The landscape, a collaboration between Vignola and Carlo Maderno, is as essential to the villa's allure as the architecture itself. The meticulously designed gardens, dotted with fountains and statues, are a testament to the artistic vision of their creators. One of the most striking features of the villa is the drinking fountain, a masterpiece by Tomaso Ghinucci. The fountain, with its intricate design and ornate details, is a highlight of the villa's grounds. The hand-coloured photograph, taken in the 1920s, captures the essence of this historic site, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and artistic innovation. Frances Benjamin Johnston, an American photographer, captured this image as part of her extensive documentation of historic buildings and landscapes. Her lantern slide, now held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable addition to the heritage of both American and Italian art and architecture. This photograph is a reminder of the enduring beauty and significance of Villa Lante, a testament to the artistic genius of Vignola, Maderno, and Ghinucci.
