This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-189024-0000" takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Siena. The focal point of this image is the awe-inspiring facade of the Cathedral of Siena, a true masterpiece that has stood the test of time. Captured between 1940 and 1950 by an unidentified author from Alinari, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details and grandeur of this architectural marvel. The artist behind this magnificent work is believed to be Giovanni di Cecco or Giovanni Pisano, both renowned sculptors who contributed their talents to its creation during the years 1284-1382. The facade itself is a symphony of columned structures, building elements, and ornate decorations that showcase exceptional craftsmanship. Every section tells a story through its meticulously carved sculptures and reliefs. From the tympanum above the main entrance to the lunette below it, each detail adds depth and character to this monumental artwork.
