EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the mesmerizing hill of Assisi, where the monumental complex of San Francesco stands tall. The image showcases the remarkable architecture and intricate details of this Gothic marvel, which dates back to the Middle Ages. The viewer is immediately drawn to the imposing bell tower that proudly reaches towards the sky, a symbol of faith and spirituality. Every building element and decoration exudes an aura of grandeur and reverence, reflecting the deep Christian roots embedded within these walls. As we explore further into the frame, our eyes are captivated by an enchanting arcade that leads us deeper into this religious sanctuary. Each section reveals a story from centuries past, reminding us of Europe's rich history during both the first and second millenniums. Amidst all this architectural splendor lies a surprising touch of nature - a fruit-bearing olive tree gracefully adorns one corner. This juxtaposition between man-made structures and natural vegetation adds an element of tranquility amidst all its grandiosity. The photograph itself was taken around 1890, capturing not only a moment frozen in time but also highlighting Elia da Cortona's artistic vision as he depicted this masterpiece through his lens. Alinari Fratelli has skillfully preserved this historical treasure for generations to come. In gazing upon this extraordinary image, we are transported to another era; we can almost hear echoes of prayers whispered within these sacred walls. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation in 1228-1253 by Frate Elia da Cortona, San Francesco continues to inspire awe with its timeless beauty.
