EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magnificent façade of the Monastery of Vallombrosa, nestled amidst the rolling hills surrounding Florence. The grandeur of this architectural masterpiece is evident in its Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods, showcasing Europe's rich history from the first to second millennium A. D. Standing proudly on the high left side of the monastery is a long building known as Paradisino, adding an enchanting touch to this already breathtaking scene. Its presence enhances the overall charm and elegance that emanates from this sacred place. The photograph itself was taken around 1900, providing us with a glimpse into a bygone era. However, it also showcases an artwork dating back centuries ago – specifically between XI sec. 1450-1470 and XVI sec. , highlighting how timeless and enduring this structure truly is. Every element captured within this frame tells a story – from the intricate arches to meticulously designed windows and doors. The roof stands tall against the sky while a bell tower adds verticality to its composition. Surrounding it all is an Italian garden, lush with vegetation that harmoniously blends nature with man-made beauty. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of its religious significance but also its role as a timekeeper for those who seek solace within these walls. The watchful clock instrument serves as a reminder that time passes even in such serene landscapes. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully preserved this moment in history through their lens, allowing us to appreciate both the architectural marvels created by human hands and nature's majestic backdrop. This print transports us back in time while simultaneously reminding us of our connection to past generations who found solace within these hallowed grounds.
