EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of a sandstone cistern nestled in the courtyard of the National Portrait Gallery of Bologna. Created by the skilled hands of Francesco Terribilia, this remarkable work was originally situated in the Garden of Semplici at City Hall before being transferred to its current location in 1886. Dating back to 1568, this sandstone cistern is a true testament to the High Renaissance period. Its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship showcase Terribilia's undeniable talent as an artist. The cistern stands proudly amidst the courtyard, serving as a stunning centerpiece that seamlessly blends elements from both Renaissance and Baroque styles. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported back in time to Europe during the first and second millennium A. D. , where art flourished under various artistic movements. The juxtaposition between these different periods is evident through Terribilia's creation, which embodies both Renaissance elegance and Baroque grandeur. The image itself was captured sometime between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, renowned photographers known for their ability to immortalize timeless works of art. Through their lens, we witness not only the magnificence of this sandstone cistern but also glimpse nature's presence with birds perched atop its edges – a reminder that even within man-made marvels, life finds a way to intertwine. This photograph serves as a visual bridge connecting past and present; it invites us to appreciate not only Terribilia's artistic genius but also reflects on how art has shaped our understanding of history. It reminds us that within these hallowed walls lies centuries worth of stories waiting patiently for curious eyes like ours to unravel them.
