EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate beauty of a detail from the jamb of the portal at the church of Saints Niccol and Cataldo in Lecce, Apulia. Designed by Giuseppe Cino, this architectural masterpiece showcases a fusion of Baroque and Renaissance styles that were prevalent during Europe's first and second millenniums. The low relief bas-relief sculpture depicted in this print is a testament to Cino's artistic prowess. Every delicate line and curve has been meticulously carved into stone, creating an exquisite vegetal composition that resembles brier foliage. The level of craftsmanship is truly awe-inspiring, as each leaf seems to come alive with its own unique texture and movement. Dating back to 1716, this artwork stands as a timeless symbol of Lecce's rich cultural heritage. Its presence on the church's portal adds an air of grandeur and elegance to the overall structure. It serves not only as an invitation for worshippers but also as a visual representation of faith and devotion. Alinari Fratelli masterfully captured this moment in time through their lens between 1920-1930. Their choice to present it in black and white enhances the contrast between light and shadow, further accentuating every intricate detail. As we gaze upon this remarkable photo print, we are transported back centuries ago when skilled artisans like Giuseppe Cino dedicated their lives to creating enduring works of art. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity, there is still immense value in preserving our historical treasures for generations to come.
