EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the old part of the facade of the Ospedale Maggiore (Maggiore Hospital) in Milan, designed by Filarete. The hospital, a testament to Milan's rich architectural history, seamlessly blends elements from various styles and periods including High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque, and Renaissance. The photograph was taken around 1915-1920, capturing the timeless beauty of this architectural masterpiece that dates back to 1456-1465. Filarete, also known as Antonio Averulino, meticulously crafted every detail of this structure using wrought metal and other applied arts and crafts techniques. Intricate building elements such as arches, capitals, windows with decorative tympanums adorn the facade. The hospital's design reflects both its medical purpose and artistic grandeur. The grillwork on the windows adds an air of elegance while providing security for those inside. The image captures a gate fence leading to a two-light window that exudes sophistication characteristic of renaissance-baroque styles prevalent during Europe's first and second millenniums. It is fascinating how architecture can tell stories spanning centuries. Brogi Giacomo captured this remarkable piece through his lens at Stabilimento fotografico Alinari. His photography allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also serves as a historical document preserving this magnificent structure for future generations. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the fusion of artistry and functionality that defined Filarete's vision for Ospedale Maggiore. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity throughout history - an enduring symbol of Milan's cultural heritage intertwined with advancements in medical care.
