EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing the serene beauty of Bordighera. The image showcases a picturesque group of palms standing tall against the backdrop of an enchanting seascape. Taken between 1915 and 1920 by Alinari, Fratelli, this photograph encapsulates the essence of this Italian coastal town. The composition is masterfully framed, with the majestic palms dominating the foreground. Their slender trunks reach towards the sky, their fronds gently swaying in harmony with the sea breeze. These elegant trees exude a sense of tranquility and grace that perfectly complements their natural surroundings. Intriguingly, this photograph offers more than just a glimpse into nature's splendor; it provides us with a window into history as well. It allows us to imagine what life was like during those early decades of the 20th century – perhaps visitors strolling along palm-lined promenades or locals finding solace under these very trees. Alinari's skillful use of black and white adds depth and texture to this landscape-seascape fusion. The absence of color enhances our focus on intricate details such as shadows cast by each palm tree or ripples forming on gentle waves rolling onto shore. As we gaze upon this timeless scene captured over a century ago, we are reminded that nature has always been an enduring source of inspiration for artists throughout history. This remarkable print serves as both a testament to Alinari's artistic vision and an invitation for us to appreciate the everlasting allure found within landscapes adorned by magnificent palms like those seen here in Bordighera.
