EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the early Middle Ages, specifically to the Cathedral of Pisa. The image showcases a side view of this magnificent architectural marvel, with the apse prominently displayed. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice two children playfully positioned in the foreground, adding a touch of innocence and liveliness to the scene. Intriguingly, on the background lies a bustling street filled with carriages, providing an interesting contrast between ancient grandeur and modern life. This juxtaposition reminds us that even though centuries have passed since its construction, this cathedral remains an integral part of everyday existence for those who inhabit Pisa. The intricate details captured in this photograph allow us to appreciate the remarkable craftsmanship that went into building such a structure during Europe's first and second millenniums. From arches to building elements, from columns to domes and cupolas - every aspect exudes elegance and precision. As we delve deeper into this visual masterpiece, our gaze is drawn towards various decorative elements adorning both interior and exterior spaces. Windows invite natural light while showcasing delicate tracery patterns; dentil work adds texture and sophistication; Christian symbolism can be found throughout; all contributing to creating an awe-inspiring religious sanctuary. Dating back over nine centuries ago (1064), it is truly astonishing how well-preserved this piece of history appears in 1890-1900 when this photograph was taken. Thanks to Alinari's expertise in capturing timeless moments like these on film or print, we are able to witness firsthand not only architectural beauty but also cultural heritage spanning across generations.
