EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Church of S. Maria di Collemaggio near L'Aquila, Italy. The Romanesque façade is a sight to behold, adorned with a stunning combination of white and red marble that exudes elegance and grandeur. The lower part of the church features three doors with meticulously restored splayed arches, inviting visitors into its sacred space. As you gaze upwards, your eyes are drawn to the upper part of the façade where three open rose windows allow streams of soft light to filter through, creating an ethereal ambiance within. In the background, a bell gable stands tall against the sky, adding a touch of verticality to this architectural masterpiece. Its presence serves as a reminder of the church's purpose - calling upon believers for prayer and worship. Dating back centuries, this photograph captures not only the physical beauty but also represents layers upon layers of history. It transports us back in time to when Gothic architecture flourished during Europe's Middle Ages. Alinari's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every intricate detail - from the wrought metal railings surrounding the church entrance to each carefully crafted stone sculpture adorning its exterior walls. As we admire this work of art captured by Alinari in 1920-1930 ca. , we can't help but marvel at how such structures have stood strong throughout first and second millenniums – testaments to human ingenuity and devotion towards religious expression. This print is more than just an image; it encapsulates both artistic excellence and historical significance that continues to inspire awe in viewers today.
