EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Brussels, Belgium, in October 1913. The lens of Aurelio Monteverde effortlessly captures a picturesque scene that encapsulates the essence of country life amidst an urban setting. In this frame, we find ourselves standing before a charming chicken coop nestled within the heart of Brussels. Surrounded by lush vegetation and towering trees, this idyllic structure stands as a testament to the harmonious coexistence between nature and human habitation. It serves as a reminder that even in bustling cities like Brussels, farming and agriculture have long been integral parts of daily life. The intricate design of the chicken coop showcases both skillful craftsmanship and practicality. Its sturdy wooden walls are adorned with delicate details, reflecting the care taken by its creators. A net gracefully drapes over part of the structure, providing protection for its inhabitants while allowing them to enjoy fresh air and sunlight. Peering through this protective barrier reveals a small flock of hens going about their daily routines. These feathered creatures symbolize vitality and freedom, reminding us that even within urban landscapes, nature's wonders can still be found if we take the time to observe closely. Monteverde's photograph not only captures tangible elements such as trees or objects but also immortalizes intangible aspects such as tranquility and simplicity. Through his lens, he invites us into this serene corner where botany intertwines with architecture; where birds chirp alongside bustling city sounds; where rural traditions persist amidst modernization. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Alinari's collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how farming practices were once deeply rooted within our cities' fabric—a poignant reminder that our connection with nature has always been essential for our well-being regardless of time or place.
