EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Church of Santa Maria Nuova in Cortona, Italy. Built during the late Renaissance period, this architectural masterpiece seamlessly combines elements from various styles and periods including Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque. The facade of the church is a true testament to its grandeur. Adorned with intricate pilaster strips, elegant doors and windows, as well as a stunning lantern atop its dome, it exudes an aura of grace and beauty. The tympanum above the entrance displays exquisite decorative details that further enhance its religious significance. As we gaze upon this photograph captured around 1900, we are transported back in time to witness the genius work of Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574), who designed this remarkable structure between 1550-1600. His artistic vision shines through every aspect of the church's architecture - from the meticulously crafted cupola to the harmonious arrangement of building elements. The Church of Santa Maria Nuova stands proudly as a symbol of Christian faith in Europe for over two millennia. Its presence has witnessed countless historical events unfold throughout history's first and second millenniums. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captures every detail in this timeless artwork without compromising its essence or commercializing it. Through their lens, they have preserved not only an image but also a piece of European heritage that continues to inspire awe today. This print serves as a window into another era – inviting us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind such masterpieces and our shared cultural legacy across generations.
