EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the rear view of the Sanctuary of the Cross in Boca, adorned with scaffolding. The sanctuary, a remarkable example of 19th-century European architecture, showcases exquisite arts and handicrafts from the 19th century. Dating back to around 1910, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era where religious structures held great significance in society. The artist behind this masterpiece is Antonelli Alessandro (1798-1888), whose talent and vision are evident in every detail. The image showcases various elements of the building's design, including its apse, exedra, tribune, and other decorative sections. These architectural features highlight both the grandeur and intricacy that went into constructing such sacred spaces. As we take in this street scene captured over a century ago, we can't help but marvel at how time has transformed our surroundings. The view extends beyond just the sanctuary itself; it provides us with a glimpse of life in that era - perhaps even hinting at bustling activity or serene countryside landscapes surrounding it. While the photographer remains unidentified, their ability to capture not only physical structures but also intangible emotions is commendable. This artwork serves as a testament to their skillful eye for composition and storytelling through imagery. Whether you appreciate historical architecture or have an interest in religious sanctuaries' cultural significance throughout history, this print will undoubtedly transport you back to another time – one filled with awe-inspiring craftsmanship and spiritual devotion.
