EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the magnificent Cathedral of S. Cristofano in Lucca, Italy. The focal point of the image is the central nave, a grand space divided by sturdy pilasters that support elegant arcades above. The architectural details are truly awe-inspiring. To the right of the nave, our eyes are drawn to an exquisite ambo resting on columns upheld by majestic lions. This piece of furniture serves as a platform for religious readings or speeches within sacred spaces like this cathedral. Its intricate design showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail prevalent during its creation. The photograph captures not only the physical elements but also provides valuable historical context about this remarkable place. Dating back to various periods between XIV and XVIII centuries, Barga Cathedral stands as a testament to Romanesque architecture from the Middle Ages in Europe. Alinari's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every aspect of this stunning artwork – from its arches and building elements down to minute decorations adorning each section. The presence of pilasters adds both strength and beauty to this holy space, while pluteus-like objects provide additional visual interest. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print captured around 1890, we can't help but feel transported through time. It reminds us of how architecture has evolved over centuries while still maintaining its significance in shaping cultural heritage.
