EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the serene Small church cloister of the Carthusian monastery of Calci, nestled in the picturesque province of Pisa. The image beautifully captures the essence of this architectural masterpiece, showcasing its rich history and stunning design. Built during the XV century by renowned artist Lorenzo da Settignano, this early Renaissance gem is a testament to Europe's artistic brilliance during that time. The fusion of Renaissance and Baroque styles can be seen in every intricate detail - from the balustrades to the building elements, decorations, and sections. The photograph allows us to admire the exquisite craftsmanship that went into creating this sacred space. Each column stands tall with grace and elegance, while doors and windows invite natural light to illuminate its hallowed halls. The tympanum above adds an air of grandeur with its ornate carvings depicting scenes from Christian lore. As we explore further into the frame, we are drawn towards arcades that lead our gaze towards a hydraulic structure at its center - a symbol of both practicality and spiritual significance within this religious sanctuary. Dating back centuries ago but captured on film between 1920-1930 ca. , this artwork serves as a timeless reminder of human ingenuity across different periods. It reminds us how architecture can transcend time itself, connecting generations through shared admiration for beauty created by skilled hands. Brogi's lens has expertly preserved not just an image but also emotions evoked by standing amidst such magnificence. This photograph invites contemplation about our place in history while reminding us that art continues to inspire awe even after centuries have passed.
