EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent facade of the Basilica of Superga, located on the outskirts of Turin. The basilica, an architectural masterpiece that seamlessly combines elements from both Renaissance and Baroque styles, stands as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. Dating back to the 18th century, this awe-inspiring structure was designed by Filippo Juvarra (also known as Juvara), a renowned artist of his time. Every intricate detail in this artwork reflects Juvarra's exceptional craftsmanship and artistic vision. From the balustrades to building elements, decorations to sections, each component adds depth and grandeur to this architectural marvel. The photograph itself was captured in 1956 by Alinari Fratelli, capturing not just the physical beauty but also preserving a moment frozen in time. It allows us to appreciate how well-preserved this historical gem is even after centuries have passed since its creation. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn towards various notable features such as columns supporting an imposing dome with an elegant cupola atop it. The windows and portico add symmetry while allowing natural light to flood into its sacred interiors. A lantern gracefully adorns one side while stairs lead up towards a majestic entrance staircase. This print serves as a visual reminder of Turin's rich architectural heritage and invites us on a journey through history. It reminds us that art transcends time and connects us with those who came before us – their dreams, aspirations, and dedication immortalized within these walls for generations to come.
