EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the Cathedral of Saint Sabinus in Bari, Italy. Taken in 1931, it beautifully captures a mesmerizing detail of the cross side windows adorned with two chimeras. These mythical creatures, with their fanciful animal features, add an air of enchantment to the Romanesque architecture that dates back to the 12th century. The intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this photograph. The window frames and mouldings showcase the skillful workmanship that was prevalent during the Middle Ages in Europe. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at how these architectural elements have stood the test of time for over a millennium. Nature intertwines seamlessly with human artistry as herbaceous plants and acanthus leaves frame these magnificent windows. The delicate vegetation adds a touch of softness against the sturdy stone structure, creating a harmonious balance between man-made design and natural beauty. Anderson's keen eye has captured not just an architectural masterpiece but also a glimpse into history itself. This print serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and allows us to appreciate the artistic achievements achieved by those who came before us. As we admire this artwork from Alinari, let us take a moment to reflect on its significance beyond mere aesthetics. It represents centuries of human ingenuity and creativity while offering us an opportunity to connect with our past through visual storytelling.
