EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent side view of the Santa Maria Maggiore Cathedral in Como. Standing tall in Como Cathedral Square, this Gothic masterpiece takes us back to the enchanting Middle Ages in Europe. The photograph was taken between 1900-1910, capturing a moment frozen in time. The Santa Maria Maggiore Cathedral is a testament to the architectural brilliance of its time, with its intricate building elements and decorative sections. Its dome or cupola stands proudly against the sky, commanding attention from all who lay eyes upon it. The pilaster strip adds an elegant touch to its façade, while the three light windows allow natural light to flood into its sacred interior. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork by Brogi, we are transported through centuries of history and religious devotion. This Christian structure has witnessed countless prayers and ceremonies throughout its existence since it was built between 1396-1774. The artist's keen eye captures every detail of this grand cathedral - from the delicate window tracery to the imposing buttresses that support its walls. It is a true marvel that has stood strong for over half a millennium. Let us appreciate not only the technical mastery behind this photograph but also reflect on how such architectural wonders have shaped our understanding of art and culture throughout history. The Santa Maria Maggiore Cathedral remains an enduring symbol of faith and human ingenuity – a testament to our ability to create awe-inspiring structures that stand as testaments to our beliefs for generations to come.
