EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate and awe-inspiring reliefs and bas reliefs adorning the facade of Milan's Cathedral. The grandeur of this architectural masterpiece is enhanced by these biblical stories depicted in exquisite detail. The viewer is transported back to a time when Europe was immersed in the Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles, as evidenced by the high relief, low relief, and basrelief techniques employed here. These artistic periods are beautifully represented on this sacred edifice that has withstood the test of time. Dating back to the 17th century, these reliefs tell tales from both the Old Testament of the Bible and Christian religious history. Each angelic figure, saintly personage, and male protagonist comes alive through masterful craftsmanship. As one gazes upon this photograph, it becomes apparent that every element has been meticulously carved into stone—a testament to human creativity and devotion. The play between light and shadow adds depth to each scene portrayed. Milan's Cathedral Square serves as a backdrop for this extraordinary artwork that spans across multiple centuries—first millennium A. D. , second millennium A. D. —connecting past generations with present ones. Brogi's lens skillfully captures not only an image but also a profound sense of spirituality emanating from these ancient carvings. This print allows us to appreciate not just its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance within European art history. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by religious iconography, this photograph transports you into a world where faith meets artistic expression—an everlasting tribute to human ingenuity etched onto Milan's iconic cathedral facade.
