EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent façade of the Basilica of St. Andrew in Vercelli, located in the picturesque region of Piemonte, Italy. The photograph, taken between 1915-1920 by Alinari Fratelli, beautifully captures the essence of this Gothic masterpiece that dates back to 1219-1227. The grandeur and intricate details of this architectural marvel are evident as one gazes upon its imposing structure. The portal stands proudly at the center, adorned with elaborate decorations and sections that speak volumes about the craftsmanship of its creators. Above it, a mesmerizing rose window adds an ethereal touch to the overall design. Tall spires and towers reach towards the sky, adding verticality to this urban structure that has stood witness to centuries gone by. A small loggia provides a charming spot for contemplation amidst such grandeur while lunettes and buttresses add depth and dimensionality to every corner. The square surrounding this basilica serves as a testament to its historical significance throughout Europe's first and second millenniums AD. Each element within its walls tells a story - from two-light windows casting gentle rays into sacred spaces, string courses dividing different levels with precision, three-light windows illuminating vast interiors with gracefulness down to single light windows offering glimpses into hidden chambers. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by Alinari Fratelli's lens over a century ago, we can't help but be transported back in time - where Gothic architecture reigned supreme across Europe's landscapes. This photograph is not just an image frozen in time; it is a visual gateway inviting us to explore history through artistry and appreciate mankind's ability to create enduring masterpieces like the Basilica of St. Andrew in Vercelli.
