EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and serenity of the Great Cloister of the Carthusian Monastery of Calci, located in the picturesque province of Pisa. The monastery's cloister, adorned with exquisite Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque architectural elements, stands as a testament to Europe's rich history spanning over two millennia. Dating back to the 17th century, this remarkable artwork by Giovan Battista Cartoni showcases a harmonious blend of columned structures, intricate decorations, and sections that epitomize the elegance and sophistication of its time. The pilasters and arcades create a sense of depth within the frame while leading our gaze towards an enchanting meadow beyond. The presence of a tranquil fountain at the center adds an element of tranquility to this religious space. Surrounded by lush vegetation and towering trees, it becomes evident why this cloister has been revered for centuries as a place for contemplation and spiritual connection. Brogi's expert lens skillfully captures every detail in this timeless photograph taken between 1920-1930. Through his artistry, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the magnificence that once graced these hallowed walls. As we admire this print from Alinari, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that architecture can transcend generations, leaving behind legacies that continue to inspire awe even after centuries have passed.
