EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting exterior of the apse of the Cathedral of Como. The image, captured by Alinari, Fratelli in the 1920s or 1930s, showcases the remarkable architecture that dates all the way back to 1064 during Europe's Romanesque period. The Cathedral of Como stands as a testament to centuries of history and religious devotion. Its intricate architrave, building elements, and decorative sections are a visual feast for architectural enthusiasts. The apse is particularly striking with its exedra and tribune design, creating an impressive focal point within this sacred structure. As we delve into each detail depicted in this photograph, our eyes are drawn to various features such as capitals, columns, pilaster strips, pilasters themselves, arcades, lunettes - all meticulously crafted elements that contribute to the grandeur of this church. Amidst these architectural wonders lies a single light window that allows soft rays of sunlight to illuminate the interior space. It serves as a symbol of hope and spirituality within this medieval masterpiece. The significance of this cathedral extends beyond its physical beauty; it holds immense religious importance as well. As a Christian place of worship throughout history's first and second millenniums AD. , it has witnessed countless prayers offered by devoted believers seeking solace or expressing gratitude. Alinari's photographic expertise captures not only the structural magnificence but also evokes emotions associated with faith and reverence. This timeless print reminds us how art can transcend time itself while preserving moments from our rich cultural heritage.
