EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-001812-0000" transports us to the enchanting world of the Certosa of San Martino in Naples. The image showcases the magnificent 'Chiostro Grande' (Great Cloister), a true testament to Italian architectural brilliance. In the foreground, we are drawn to an exquisite octagonal well, its timeless beauty accentuated by meticulously manicured flowerbeds and hedges in the classic Italian style. To the left stands a majestic marble enclosure, adding an air of grandeur and elegance to this picturesque scene. As our gaze extends beyond the foreground, we are met with awe-inspiring walls that enclose this sacred space. These ancient structures tell stories of centuries past and stand as guardians of history within the Certosa's grounds. The photograph was captured between 1860 and 1880 by talented artists Dosio Giovanni Antonio and Fanzago Cosimo. Their lens skillfully immortalizes an artwork dating back even further - created between 1580 and 1650 - showcasing their deep appreciation for both historical significance and artistic mastery. Located in Naples, this architectural marvel serves not only as a place of worship but also as a cemetery for Christian souls. Its religious importance is palpable through every stone laid within its structure. Nature intertwines harmoniously with man-made elements throughout this composition; statues emerge from lush vegetation while shrubs frame each view like living frames on display. Robert Rive's expertly crafted print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail present within this mesmerizing landscape. It invites us into a world where architecture meets nature in perfect harmony—a visual feast for art enthusiasts seeking solace amidst historic splendor.
