EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us to the enchanting world of the Middle Ages, specifically to the middle cloister of Monte Oliveto Maggiore Abbey near Siena. The timeless allure of this architectural masterpiece is beautifully captured by Anderson's lens. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the intricately designed arches and building elements that adorn the cloister. Each pilaster stands tall, a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of its creators. The vaulted ceilings create an atmosphere of grandeur while providing a sense of protection and tranquility. The open gallery beckons us to step inside and explore further. We can almost hear echoes from centuries past as we imagine friars and clergy members traversing these hallowed grounds, finding solace in their faith amidst these sacred walls. In one corner, a solitary figure catches our attention - a portrait capturing a male devotee lost in contemplation. His presence reminds us that this place was not only an architectural marvel but also served as a sanctuary for those seeking spiritual enlightenment during medieval times. This photograph serves as a bridge between two eras - it was taken in 1920-1930 when photography itself was still relatively new, yet it captures an artwork dating back to 1320-1344 AD. It allows us to appreciate both periods simultaneously and highlights how art has endured through time. Anderson's skillful composition invites viewers on an immersive journey through history, inviting them to ponder life in Europe during the first and second millenniums AD. This print is more than just an image; it is a window into another world – one filled with beauty, devotion, and reverence for centuries gone by.
