EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the stunning interior of the Cathedral of S. Martino in Lucca, Italy. Taken around 1890, it showcases the grandeur and architectural beauty of this Gothic church that has stood for centuries. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the tall central nave, which stretches out before us with its majestic presence. Separated by pilasters, these towering columns create a sense of verticality and emphasize the soaring height of the space. The intricate details and craftsmanship are evident in every corner, reflecting the skill and dedication put into constructing such a magnificent place of worship. In the background, we glimpse a semicircular apse that adds depth to this already awe-inspiring scene. This curved structure serves as an important element within Christian architecture, often housing altars or sacred relics. Its presence here further enhances our understanding of this cathedral's significance as a religious sanctuary. Dating back to the XIV-XV century, this artwork captures not only an era but also represents Europe's rich history during both first and second millenniums A. D. . It stands as a testament to human creativity and devotion throughout different periods. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this moment in time with their camera lens, preserving for eternity an exquisite example of church architecture from medieval times. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we can't help but be transported back through time to experience firsthand what it was like inside Lucca Cathedral all those years ago.
