EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alinari showcases the stunning exterior of the Church of Santo Stefano Rotondo, which holds the distinction of being Rome's oldest round church. The photograph captures the unique architectural features of this ancient structure, characterized by a cylindrical body and a cylindrical drum atop it, both adorned with intricate brickwork. In the foreground, amidst tall trees, stands a magnificent fountain-monument featuring a Roman boat placed on a pedestal. This ship is believed to be an imitation of an ex-voto discovered in the nearby 'Castra Peregrina. ' The boat bears the devices of Leo X, adding historical significance to its presence. The image transports us back in time to between 1890 and 1920 when it was captured. It offers us a glimpse into Rome's rich history dating back centuries as we marvel at this remarkable piece of architecture from the fifth century. The photograph beautifully captures not only the building elements and decoration but also highlights sections that showcase various aspects such as equestrian monuments and commemorative structures. It serves as a testament to Christian religious artistry and craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Nature intertwines harmoniously with man-made wonders in this composition. The surrounding trees add depth and serenity to the scene while emphasizing our connection with nature even within urban landscapes. Alinari's masterful photography skillfully immortalizes this significant work of sculpture against its natural backdrop. Through his lens, he invites us to appreciate both human ingenuity and natural beauty simultaneously. This awe-inspiring print is more than just an artwork; it encapsulates history, culture, religion, architecture, sculpture – all elements that make Rome truly timeless.
