EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the façade of the Church of Ss. Domenico e Sisto in Rome, Italy. The work, skillfully executed by Vincenzo della Greca between 1655 and 1663, features two rows of paired pilasters that add depth and grandeur to the architectural design. The photograph, taken around 1890, beautifully captures the intricate elements of this Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque masterpiece. From the imposing capital at the top to the meticulously carved tabernacle and tympanum below, every aspect exudes an air of elegance and craftsmanship. The high relief sculpture on display is truly remarkable; it depicts various objects such as amphorae and candelabra with exquisite attention to detail. The crossbaroque style prevalent throughout Europe during this period is evident in every inch of this magnificent artwork. Adding further allure to this composition are the exterior stairs leading up to what seems like a flight of steps towards heaven itself. These stairs perfectly complement both the Renaissance and Baroque styles represented in this architectural gem. As we delve into history through Anderson's lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how European architecture evolved over centuries. This particular photograph serves as a testament to human ingenuity across different periods from antiquity through modern times. Whether you appreciate art or simply admire stunning architecture, this print offers a glimpse into one man's vision brought to life by Vincenzo della Greca – an artist who left an indelible mark on Rome's cultural landscape for generations to come.
