EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Romantic Capital" takes us back in time to the St. Peter parish in Romena, Pratovecchio, Arezzo during the Middle Ages. The artwork showcased here is a remarkable Romanesque capital that exudes an air of mystery and grandeur. The photograph was taken around 1931, capturing the essence of this ancient masterpiece from the X-XII centuries. Its intricate details and craftsmanship are a testament to the skill and artistry of those who created it many centuries ago. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to a magnificent lion depicted on the capital. This terrestrial mammal stands proudly with its regal mane flowing majestically. It symbolizes strength, power, and courage - characteristics often associated with lions throughout history. Surrounding this majestic creature are various vegetal elements and compositions that add depth and texture to the artwork. The lush vegetation intertwines with brier-like patterns, creating an enchanting atmosphere reminiscent of medieval Europe. The significance of this Romanesque capital extends beyond its aesthetic appeal; it serves as a window into European history during the first and second millennium A. D. It reminds us of a time when such architectural marvels were crafted by skilled hands using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Alinari Fratelli has masterfully captured this timeless piece through their lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today. This print invites us to delve into history's embrace while marveling at the artistic achievements of our ancestors.
