EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Octagon of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, Italy. The Galleria, a true masterpiece of 19th-century European architecture, stands as a testament to the eclecticism that defined this era. The photograph was taken sometime after 1891, while the artwork itself was created between 1865 and 1877 by Giuseppe Mengoni. It captures every intricate detail of this architectural marvel - from its arches and building elements to its decorative sections and pilaster strips. The image reveals a bustling street scene surrounding the gallery, giving us a glimpse into daily life during this period. People can be seen walking along the floor of the Galleria, gazing at shop windows filled with enticing goods. The iron and glass structure creates an enchanting atmosphere as sunlight filters through its vaulted ceiling. In addition to showcasing the stunning architecture, this print also highlights various means of communication present in Milan at that time. A business sign catches our attention, symbolizing commerce within this vibrant cityscape. As we admire this historical photograph captured by Brogi for Alinari's collection, we are transported back in time to witness both artistic brilliance and everyday life intertwined seamlessly within one frame. It serves as a reminder of how architecture can shape societies while providing spaces for people to connect and communicate across generations.
