EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of "The Scalone d'Onore" also known as the Great Staircase in the Royal Palace, located in Naples. The photograph, taken around 1900, beautifully captures the intricate architectural details of this magnificent structure. The Scalone d'Onore is a true masterpiece that seamlessly combines elements from both Baroque and Renaissance styles. Its design reflects the opulence and elegance of European architecture during the first and second millenniums A. D. Each step of this flight of stairs exudes sophistication, with its balustrade adorned with delicate pilaster strips. As you gaze at this image, your eyes are drawn to the stunning windows that line either side of the staircase. These windows allow natural light to flood into space while offering breathtaking views of Naples beyond their panes. The ceiling above is a work of art in itself, featuring intricately carved niches housing sculptures crafted by renowned artists Francesco Antonio Picchiatti and Gaetano Genovese. These statues add an ethereal touch to an already awe-inspiring scene. Alinari's masterful photography perfectly captures every detail and nuance present in this architectural marvel. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to each element captured within the frame. This print serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history – a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation in 1651-1838, The Scalone d'Onore continues to inspire wonderment among all who lay their eyes upon it.
