EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the magnificent Cathedral of Como, showcasing one of its awe-inspiring portals. The image captures the essence of both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles that define this architectural masterpiece. Dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. , this particular portal was crafted between 1455-1486 by the talented Rodari family. Every intricate detail is brought to life through Brogi's lens, allowing us to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating this work of art. As we delve deeper into the photo, our eyes are drawn to various building elements and decorations that adorn this grand entrance. From capitals and columns to pilaster strips and tabernacles, each element adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. The portal also features niches with delicate sculptures, cusps reaching towards the sky, spires piercing through clouds, lunettes framing exquisite stained glass windows - all contributing to an atmosphere of reverence within these sacred walls. It is fascinating how this single light window perfectly encapsulates both Renaissance and Baroque influences. The fusion of these two distinct periods creates a harmonious blend that showcases Europe's rich artistic heritage. Brogi's photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. It allows us to marvel at the skillful hands behind every stroke on stone or brush on glass. This print invites us on a journey through centuries past while reminding us of our shared cultural legacy. It stands as a reminder that beauty transcends time, leaving an indelible mark for generations yet unborn.
