EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-172619-0000" transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Lucca. The focal point of this image is none other than the magnificent Cathedral of S. Martino, showcasing a mesmerizing detail of its awe-inspiring facade. Dating back to approximately 1060 and the XIII century, this architectural masterpiece stands as a testament to centuries of craftsmanship and devotion. Every element meticulously crafted with precision and care can be admired in this photograph - from the intricate portal to the ornate building sections that make up its grand structure. The rose window, an emblematic feature often found in Gothic architecture, takes center stage within the composition. Its delicate tracery patterns allow sunlight to filter through, casting ethereal rays upon those who enter this sacred space. As our eyes wander across the frame, we are drawn towards each arch and column that gracefully supports this monumental edifice. These elements not only serve as structural components but also bear witness to countless prayers whispered within these hallowed walls throughout history. Amongst these architectural marvels stand statues and sculptures that breathe life into stone. Each figure tells a story; their presence evoking a sense of reverence and spirituality for all who behold them. Enrico Van Lint's masterful capture allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while transporting us into a world where faith intertwines with artistry. This photograph serves as both a visual feast for lovers of architecture and an invitation for contemplation on the profound beauty found within religious structures like S. Martino Cathedral.
