EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the rear and façade of the Church of S. Biagio, a remarkable architectural masterpiece by Antonio da San Gallo the Elder, located in Montepulciano. The image captures the essence of this magnificent church, which beautifully combines elements from Mannerism, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The photograph was taken in 1929, providing us with a glimpse into the past and allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and enduring beauty. The artwork itself dates back to 1518-1545 when it was created by Sangallo, Antonio da, the Elder. As we examine this image closely, we are struck by the intricate details that adorn every corner of this grand structure. From its imposing portal to its meticulously crafted building elements and decorations, each aspect speaks volumes about the skill and vision of its creator. Noteworthy features include an exquisite apse with an exedra and tribune adorned with a balustrade. A cornice gracefully frames a dome crowned by an elegant cupola while pilaster strips add vertical accents along its walls. Metopes display intricate designs while lanterns illuminate niches showcasing religious iconography. The surrounding landscape adds depth to this composition as a road winds through lush vegetation dotted with trees. This juxtaposition between man-made architecture and nature creates a harmonious blend that is characteristic of European artistry during these periods. Alinari's masterful photography perfectly captures not only the physical attributes but also evokes emotions associated with standing before such awe-inspiring beauty. Through this photo print, viewers can transport themselves back in time to witness firsthand one of Europe's most treasured architectural gems.
