This print showcases the intricate details of the main door of the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna. The door, a masterpiece that combines elements from various styles and periods including Early Renaissance, Renaissance, and Renaissance-Baroque, is a testament to Europe's rich artistic heritage. The photograph was captured around 1900, offering us a glimpse into this magnificent artwork that dates back to 1425-1438. Created by renowned artists such as Jacopo Della Quercia, Aspertini Amico, Antonio del Minello, Minello de' Bardi, Antonio di Giovanni, and Antonio da Ostiglia; it features prophets, people, Madonna and child depictions along with representations of the Virgin Mary's life. As we delve into this image further, we are transported to an era where Christian religion played a significant role in society. The presence of saints and biblical figures reminds us of their importance in shaping European culture during the first and second millenniums A. D.
