EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Madonna di Oropa Sanctuary, located near Biella in Italy. The sanctuary is a true testament to the grandeur of Baroque and Renaissance architecture, with its stunning dome, cupola, and intricate building elements that exude elegance and sophistication. Dating back to the 17th century (1600-1624), this architectural masterpiece has stood as a symbol of faith for centuries. Its facade boasts an impressive portico and open gallery, inviting visitors into its sacred space. The church itself is a place of worship for Christians, radiating spirituality and tranquility. The square or piazza surrounding the sanctuary adds to its urban charm. It serves as a gathering place for both locals and tourists who come to admire this remarkable structure nestled amidst breathtaking landscape valleys and majestic mountains. In this particular photograph taken around 1872, we see the sanctuary basking in daylight while capturing the essence of European baroque style prevalent during the first and second millenniums A. D. The image also features individuals dressed in traditional clothing from that era - men donning fashionable attire while women showcase their timeless grace. The photographer behind this mesmerizing shot remains unidentified but has skillfully captured not only the architectural brilliance but also the spiritual aura emanating from Madonna di Oropa Sanctuary. This print stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history while reminding us of our connection to both religious devotion and artistic expression.
