EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic "Entrance of the Sanctuary of Oropa with the snow" in all its glory. The image, taken around 1940, showcases a remarkable blend of architectural styles spanning several periods in European history. The sanctuary itself is a testament to late Baroque, Baroque, and Renaissance-Baroque influences. Its grandeur is enhanced by intricate details and ornate decorations that have stood the test of time since their creation between 1740 and 1770. As snow blankets the surroundings, it adds an ethereal touch to this already awe-inspiring structure. In this particular shot, we see a gate leading into the sanctuary's entrance vestibule. The gate stands as an impressive element amidst its surroundings – a symbol of both strength and beauty. It serves as more than just an entryway; it represents a connection between earthly existence and spiritual transcendence. A female figure dressed in traditional attire stands nearby, adding depth to the scene. Her presence evokes a sense of reverence for religious traditions that have endured through centuries. The photographer behind this masterpiece is Fernando Pasta from Alinari – his keen eye has captured not only architectural marvels but also natural elements like snowfall that enhance their splendor even further. This print invites viewers to immerse themselves in history while appreciating both human craftsmanship and nature's whimsy. It reminds us that despite being built by human hands, sanctuaries hold within them something divine – an intangible essence that transcends time itself.
