EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of The Cappella Pontano, a chapel nestled in the heart of Naples. Built during the Early Renaissance period, this architectural masterpiece showcases a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The photograph, taken around 1920-1930, transports us back to the year 1492 when Fra' Giocondo completed his remarkable artwork. Every intricate detail is brought to life through Alinari's lens, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating this religious structure. The dome and cupola dominate the skyline, reaching towards the heavens with an air of grandeur. Building elements adorn every corner, while decorative sections add a touch of elegance. The tympanum and tiburium stand as testaments to Christian faith and devotion. In this bustling street scene captured by Alinari's keen eye, we witness daily life unfolding against a backdrop of architectural splendor. A cart pulled by horses trundles along on its journey through time. A wheelbarrow stands idle nearby, waiting for its next task. As we gaze upon this view of Naples from long ago, we are reminded that history is not just about dates but also about people who lived their lives within these structures. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into Europe's first and second millenniums - an era marked by artistic innovation and cultural transformation. Alinari has masterfully captured both stillness and movement in one frame: a city frozen in time yet teeming with action. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change over centuries, some things remain constant - like our appreciation for artistry that transcends generations.
