EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-161016-0000" we are transported back in time to the enchanting city of Venice. The image captures a mesmerizing glimpse of Piazzetta San Marco, with the majestic Column of San Marco standing proudly in the foreground. This stereoscopic photograph, dating from 1860-1880, allows us to witness a moment frozen in history. The scene is bathed in soft light, casting an ethereal glow over the iconic square. As our eyes wander through the frame, they are drawn to a magnificent lion statue standing tall atop the column. Symbolic and powerful, this regal creature represents strength and courage – qualities often associated with Venice itself. Beyond its literal representation as an animal sculpture, this lion holds deeper meaning within Venetian culture. It serves as an allegory for Venice's historical dominance as a maritime power and its connection to Saint Mark – patron saint of the city. Through centuries of triumphs and challenges, this symbol has remained steadfastly rooted in Venetian identity. The juxtaposition between ancient artwork and contemporary photography adds another layer of intrigue to this piece. While the photograph was captured during a relatively recent period compared to its subject matter – which dates all the way back to 1172 – it still manages to evoke a sense of timelessness. As we gaze upon this evocative print by an unidentified author from Alinari, we can't help but be captivated by its ability to transport us across both space and time. It reminds us that art has no boundaries or limitations; it transcends eras and cultures while offering glimpses into worlds long gone yet forever preserved through visual storytelling.
