EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Torre del Colombaione di Badia at Settimo, nestled amidst the picturesque environs of Scandicci. Taken around 1890, this photograph beautifully captures the essence of Gothic architecture from the XIV century. The tower house stands tall and proud, its intricate building elements and decorative sections showcasing the craftsmanship of a bygone era. A dovecote perched atop adds a touch of rural charm to this magnificent structure that has withstood the test of time. As we delve deeper into this image, our eyes are drawn to a fascinating sculpture depicting Madonna and Child with saints. This low relief artwork serves as a reminder of life's representations of the Virgin Mary during medieval times. The subjects' clothing reflects fashion trends prevalent in Europe during those centuries. Intriguingly, there is also an object resembling laundry hanging nearby, providing insight into daily life during this period. It reminds us that even amidst grand architectural wonders, mundane tasks were carried out by ordinary people who called these structures home. Alinari Fratelli's masterful composition allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and intricacies present in European architecture throughout history. This print not only showcases an awe-inspiring tower house but also offers glimpses into various aspects of life during different periods - be it religious devotion or everyday chores. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply captivated by historical marvels, this Alinari masterpiece will transport you through time on an unforgettable journey through Europe's first and second millenniums AD.
