EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent façade of the Church of San Giusto in Lucca. Standing tall and proud, this Romanesque masterpiece is a true testament to the architectural brilliance of the Middle Ages in Europe. The façade itself is adorned with three grand portals that invite worshippers and visitors alike into its sacred space. Above these entrances, two levels of blind galleries add an extra layer of intricacy and charm to this already stunning structure. Each gallery tells a story through its carefully crafted woodwork, showcasing the exceptional skill of artisans from centuries past. Captured around 1890 by Alinari, Fratelli, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance of this church. Dating back to the 12th century, it stands as a symbol of faith and devotion throughout multiple millennia. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn towards other notable features such as decorative sections like lunettes and oculi that punctuate the façade's surface. The imposing bell tower serves as a reminder of both time passing and spiritual guidance for those within its vicinity. With its rich Christian heritage deeply rooted in every stone laid down during construction, this church holds immense cultural value for Lucca and beyond. It represents an era when artistry merged seamlessly with religious devotion to create awe-inspiring structures that still stand strong today. Alinari's photographic expertise has allowed us to capture a moment frozen in time—a glimpse into history that reminds us how architecture can transcend generations while preserving stories untold within their walls.
