EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the enchanting world of the Basilica of San Francesco in Assisi. The image captures the intricate beauty of the Portal and prothyrum, showcasing a harmonious blend of architectural elements that have stood the test of time. Dating back to around 1487, this masterpiece was created by none other than Da Pietrasanta, Francesco. His artistic prowess is evident in every detail, from the delicate inscription to the meticulously carved decorations adorning each section. This artwork serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity. The photograph itself was taken around 1890 by Alinari, Fratelli - renowned for their ability to capture historical landmarks with unparalleled precision. Through their lens, we are able to appreciate not only the grandeur of this structure but also its significance as an instrument of communication between man and God. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are drawn towards various architectural features such as rose windows, arches, capitals, columns, friezes, doors, pilasters and vaults – all seamlessly integrated into one cohesive design. Each element tells a story; each stroke represents centuries worth of craftsmanship. The prothyrum acts as an entrance vestibule leading us into a sacred space where spirituality intertwines with artistry. It beckons visitors with its majestic presence while providing shelter from worldly distractions. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates history frozen in time. It invites us to explore not only its visual splendor but also delve deeper into our own understanding of architecture's role in shaping culture and society throughout centuries past.
