EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the magnificent Portal of the Cathedral of Altamura. Standing tall and proud, this architectural masterpiece showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the Late Gothic era. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the grand entrance, adorned with a plethora of fascinating details. On either side of the portal, we can see columns bearing majestic lions, their powerful presence adding an element of strength and majesty to the scene. These lions serve as symbolic representations, embodying courage and nobility. The columns themselves are a sight to behold, ending in a beautifully sculpted double arch that exudes elegance and grace. Atop this arch rests a triangular tympanum, completing the harmonious composition. Dating back to around 1534 during Europe's Middle Ages period, this artwork was created by Maestro Antonio di Andria. His skillful handiwork has left an indelible mark on Altamura Cathedral's history. As we delve deeper into this photograph's rich tapestry, we notice various other elements that contribute to its overall allure. From angelic figures to depictions of Madonna and child - symbols representing life and devotion - every detail tells a story from centuries past. Intriguingly intertwined within these scenes are vegetal elements like briers and vegetation itself – nature's contribution to human artistry. Furthermore, emblems such as crests or shields add another layer of meaning; they may signify lineage or heraldic ornaments associated with biblical references from both Old Testament traditions through New Testament teachings. Captured around 1931 by Anderson for Alinari Studios' collection (not intended for commercial use), this print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance embedded within Altamura Cathedral's remarkable portal.
