EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic beauty of the twin churches of S. Maria dei Miracoli and S. Maria di Montesanto, standing proudly in Piazza del Popolo in Rome. The image, taken around 1890, showcases the remarkable architecture that seamlessly blends Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The artist behind these magnificent churches is none other than Carlo Rainaldi, who worked alongside Fontana Carlo to create this stunning masterpiece between 1675 and 1681. Their collaboration resulted in a harmonious fusion of architectural elements that have stood the test of time. The focal point of the photo is undoubtedly the dome or cupola that crowns one of the churches' facades. Its intricate details and elaborate decoration draw your eyes towards it with awe-inspiring grandeur. Each section meticulously crafted to showcase religious symbolism, reminding us of its Christian significance. As we explore further into this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse of Piazza del Popolo's vibrant urban scene. A coach can be seen traversing through its streets as people go about their daily lives by land transportation - a testament to how bustling this square was even back then. Alinari Fratelli expertly captured not only an architectural marvel but also provided us with a unique view of Rome itself during this period. The cityscape serves as a backdrop for these extraordinary structures, emphasizing their dominance over the landscape. This print transports us back to an era where baroque art thrived in Europe during both the first and second millenniums AD. , showcasing Rome's rich history through its breathtaking architecture while inviting contemplation on our own place within it all.
