EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring interior of the Basilica of S. Lorenzo in Milan, a true testament to its grandeur and historical significance. The combination of architectural styles spanning from the sixteenth century to the Renaissance-Baroque periods creates an atmosphere of majestic beauty within this ancient basilica. Captured around 1890 by Martino Bassi, this photograph allows us to marvel at the intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship found within this sacred space. From the altar adorned with a magnificent baldachin, candelabrum, and cross, to the meticulously carved wooden choir stalls and statues that line the apse and exedra, every element contributes to a sense of reverence. The building elements themselves are works of art; from the dome's elegant architecture to the intricately designed cupola above it. The floor is laid out in a pattern that leads visitors on an enchanting journey through vaulted passageways and into an ambulatory filled with stunning sculptures. One cannot help but be captivated by the ornate balustrades that enclose various sections of this basilica or be drawn towards the beautifully crafted ciborium standing proudly amidst its surroundings. This photograph truly encapsulates centuries worth of history, showcasing Europe's rich heritage during both first and second millennium A. D. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Brogi for Alinari, we are transported back in time - immersed in an era where faith met artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder not only of our shared cultural legacy but also as an invitation for us all to appreciate and preserve these architectural treasures for future generations.
