EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Ciborium of the dome of the Church of Sant'Alessio in Rome. The grandeur and historical significance of this architectural masterpiece are evident in every intricate detail captured by Anderson from Alinari. Dating back to the Middle Ages, this Romanesque Ciborium is a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage. Its construction spans across multiple centuries, with origins dating as far back as 1217. Throughout its existence, it has undergone various renovations and additions in 1582 and 1750, adding layers of history to its already fascinating story. The photograph itself was taken around 1890, providing us with a glimpse into how this magnificent structure appeared during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable; every arch and building element stands out against the backdrop of Rome's Basilica of San Clemente. The mosaic ornamentation adorning the ciborium adds an extra layer of beauty and complexity to this already breathtaking piece. It serves not only as an altar but also as one of many furnishings for sacred spaces within the church. As we admire this image, we can't help but be transported back in time - imagining ourselves standing beneath that baldachin, surrounded by centuries-old history. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such masterpieces and their enduring legacy throughout Europe's first and second millenniums. Anderson's skillful capture ensures that future generations can continue marveling at this extraordinary piece for years to come.
