EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the façade of the Church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence. The church, an epitome of architectural brilliance, seamlessly blends Early Renaissance, Renaissance, and Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Its historical significance dates back to the first and second millennium A. D. , making it a true testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage. The photograph was taken around 1940, capturing the timeless beauty that has stood strong for centuries. The artwork itself originated between 1278 and 1478 by renowned artists such as Sisto, fra', Giovanni da Campi, fra', Ristoro, fra', Talenti Jacopo, and Alberti Leon Battista (1404-1472). Their collective genius is evident in every intricate detail found within this masterpiece. The image focuses on an exquisite marble inlay that adorns the building elements of the church's portal. It beautifully incorporates various decorative sections like arches, capitals, columns, friezes, pilaster strips, niches - all meticulously crafted with precision. Amongst these ornate designs lies a geometrical representation featuring acanthus plants and other herbaceous vegetation. One cannot help but be captivated by the crest-like emblem showcased on this façade; it exudes a sense of grandeur reminiscent of heraldic ornaments from early Renaissance times. This visual delight truly transports viewers back to an era where artistry flourished under European renaissance influences. Anderson's expert photography captures not only the physical details but also evokes emotions associated with standing before such magnificent architecture. Through his lens and Alinari's printing expertise comes this stunning portrayal that allows us to appreciate both history and craftsmanship in one frame.
