EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent facade of the Basilica of San Paolo fuori le Mura in Rome. The image, captured between 1880-1890, transports us back to the grandeur and artistry of the 19th century. The Basilica's facade is a true testament to European architectural brilliance, with its intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship. Every element has been carefully thought out and executed by skilled artisans from that era. From arches to building elements, decorations to sections, this masterpiece embodies the essence of 19th-century architecture. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn to various details: the elegant architrave resting atop sturdy columns, leading our vision towards a majestic flight of stairs. Above them lies a remarkable tympanum adorned with mosaic ornamentation that adds an exquisite touch to this already awe-inspiring structure. The artist behind this extraordinary artwork is Ugo Poletti, a prelate who dedicated his talent to capturing and immortalizing such architectural wonders. Through his lens or brush strokes (as it may be), he successfully conveys not only the physical beauty but also the historical significance embedded within these structures. D'Alessandri Brothers' Alinari company has skillfully preserved this moment in time for us all to appreciate centuries later. This print serves as a window into Rome's rich history during both the first and second millenniums A. D. , allowing us to marvel at Europe's artistic heritage. Let us cherish this visual treasure as it reminds us of humanity's ability to create enduring works of art that transcend time itself.
