EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Loggia of the Council, or of the Grand Guardian of Padua. Located in Piazza dell'Unita' Italiana, this architectural masterpiece showcases a harmonious blend of Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles. The image, taken around 1900, allows us to appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship that went into creating this magnificent structure. Built between 1496 and 1553 by artists Annibale Maggi and Gian Maria Falconetti, every element has been carefully designed to exude elegance and sophistication. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are drawn to several notable features. The arches gracefully curve overhead while a decorative cornice adds an extra touch of opulence. Columns stand tall with pilaster strips adorning their surfaces, adding depth and texture to the overall composition. A flight of stairs leads up to a loggia - an open gallery that offers breathtaking views over the city below. The foundation is solidly built with an entablature serving as its crowning glory. Two light windows allow natural light to flood into the space while a string course acts as a visual divider between different sections. This photograph not only showcases architectural brilliance but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life during renaissance Europe. A bustling street scene can be seen in front of the loggia, capturing moments filled with action and movement. Alinari Fratelli's skillful capture transports us back in time, allowing us to marvel at this remarkable piece of history frozen within one frame. It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation; art continues to inspire awe and admiration for generations to come.
