PDC-F-002037-0000 - A Glimpse of Milan Cathedral's Majestic Side
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the late 19th century with this print captured by Giorgio Sommer. Transporting us to Milan, Italy, we are granted a partial view from above of one side of the magnificent Milan Cathedral. The year is somewhere between 1865 and 1870, as indicated by the date on the photograph. In this mesmerizing image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the foreground where intricately decorated buttresses adorned with quadrilobate motifs stand tall. These architectural marvels serve not only as supports but also as artistic expressions within themselves. Above them rise high spires that seem to touch the heavens, each crowned with statues that add an ethereal charm to this sacred place. The history behind this awe-inspiring structure dates back centuries, spanning from the 14th through the 16th centuries and even reaching into the 19th century for some sections. Renowned artists such as Giovanni Giacomo Dolcebuono, Giovanni Solari, Guiniforte Solari, Antonio Amadeo Giovanni (1447-1522), Pietro Antonio Solari, and Pellegrino Tibaldi (1527-1596) have all left their mark on its grandeur. Milan Cathedral stands proudly as a symbol of Christian faith and religious devotion. Its towering spires pierce through clouds while its intricate decoration captivates every observer's gaze. This remarkable piece of architecture showcases not only human ingenuity but also serves as a testament to unwavering spiritual belief. Giorgio Sommer's skillful photography allows us today to appreciate just a fraction of what makes Milan Cathedral so extraordinary - its side filled with building elements meticulously crafted over centuries past. Let your imagination wander amidst these stone structures and be transported back in time when artistry and faith converged to create something truly remarkable.
