EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Middle Ages, specifically to the breathtaking Baptistry of Pistoia. The image showcases the remarkable architectural brilliance of this European masterpiece, which dates back to the first and second millennium A. D. The photograph was taken around 1940, capturing a moment frozen in history that allows us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating this extraordinary structure. The artwork itself was created between 1338-1359 by Andrea Pisano, also known as Andrea da Pontedera. Born around 1295 and passing away in either 1348 or 1349, Pisano's talent shines through every intricate detail of this baptistery. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn to various elements within the building's design. From its stunning rose window and decorative sections to its grand columns and elegant doors, every aspect exudes an air of religious significance. The lantern atop the roof illuminates both the physical space and spiritual atmosphere within. Noteworthy features include a tympanum adorned with delicate carvings, a spire reaching towards heaven, a small loggia providing shelter for contemplation, an arcade leading visitors on a journey through faith-filled corridors, and a gallery displaying artistic treasures. Above it all rests a lunette that adds another layer of beauty to this Christian sanctuary. This print from Alinari captures not only an architectural marvel but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. It invites viewers into an era long gone yet preserved forever through photography. Let your imagination wander as you explore each element captured by Anderson's lens – immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Europe's past brought vividly back to life before your very eyes.
