EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Central Portal of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Strasbourg, France. Taken around 1890, it transports us back to the XIII century when this architectural masterpiece was created. The intricate details and grandeur of the Gothic style are evident in every element captured by the unidentified author. The central portal serves as a gateway to a world steeped in history and spirituality. Adorned with sculptures depicting prophets, people, Madonna and Child, it is a testament to the life and representations of the Virgin Mary. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of her significance in religious art. The subjects depicted on this portal range from scenes portraying Christ's passion, his life on Earth, resurrection, ascension – all beautifully carved into stone. The figures donning period costumes offer us glimpses into medieval fashion and clothing styles that were prevalent during those times. This image not only captures an architectural wonder but also provides insights into European culture during both the first and second millenniums A. D. It takes us on a journey through time as we explore elements from both Old Testament stories found in biblical texts as well as New Testament narratives. Alinari has masterfully preserved this piece of art for generations to come. Through their lens, they have immortalized an extraordinary moment frozen in time - one that allows us to appreciate not just its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within Europe's rich cultural heritage.
