EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the central portal of the facade of the Cathedral of San Donnino in Fidenza, Italy. The intricate detail and craftsmanship are attributed to Benedetto Antelami and his school, who were active during the late 12th and early 13th centuries. The Romanesque architecture is beautifully captured in this photograph taken in April 1956. It transports us back to a time when Europe was still emerging from the Middle Ages, with its rich history spanning over a millennium. At the heart of this image stands an impressive door adorned with symbolic representations. Among them is a majestic lion, symbolizing strength and power. This animal serves as an allegory for various abstract concepts that may have been important to those who built or worshipped within these walls. The portal also features depictions of prophets such as Ezekiel, along with scenes from biblical stories like David's triumph over Goliath. These religious subjects remind us of the significance placed on faith during this era. Through this photograph by Clari from Studio Fotografico Alinari, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery and historical context behind Antelami's work. The attention to detail in every carving speaks volumes about the dedication and skill required to create such magnificent pieces. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back through time - reminded of Europe's past while marveling at its enduring beauty.
