EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the serene environs of Pisa, specifically to the grand cloister of the Certosa di Calci. The Certosa di Calci is a Carthusian monastery nestled in the outskirts of Pisa, known for its architectural marvels and historical significance. The large cloister depicted in this image showcases an exquisite blend of Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles, epitomizing the artistic brilliance that flourished during Europe's First and Second Millennium A. D. The photograph was taken around 1920 by Giovan Battista Cartoni, a renowned artist capturing timeless beauty through his lens. Every element within this composition exudes elegance and tranquility. From the balustrade adorned with intricate details to the majestic columns and pilasters that stand tall, each building element contributes to an atmosphere of awe-inspiring splendor. The arcade gracefully frames the meadow beyond, inviting us into a world where nature seamlessly merges with architectural magnificence. In this sacred space, we can imagine monks finding solace amidst their religious duties. Their presence adds depth to our understanding of this Christian sanctuary as they go about their daily lives devotedly serving their faith. Vegetation thrives abundantly throughout the cloister; trees provide shade while adding a touch of natural beauty to this man-made wonderland. And at its heart lies a fountain - perhaps symbolizing purity or spiritual cleansing - offering respite from worldly concerns. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph captured by Brogi from Alinari, we are transported back in time. It serves as a testament not only to human ingenuity but also to our eternal quest for spirituality and connection with something greater than ourselves.
