EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing the Romanesque façade of the Church of San Celso in Milan. Taken around 1910 by Brogi from Alinari, this image showcases the architectural beauty and intricate details of this religious structure. The church's façade stands tall and proud, adorned with various elements that make it a true masterpiece. A stunning rose window takes center stage, its delicate tracery creating an ethereal play of light and shadow. Flanking the entrance are majestic columns with ornate capitals, while pilaster strips add verticality to the composition. Above the portal lies a tympanum featuring intricate decoration and sections that tell stories from Christian history. A lunette crowns this ensemble, adding another layer of artistic grandeur to this sacred space. In contrast to these man-made marvels, nature asserts itself in subtle ways surrounding the church. A palm tree gracefully sways nearby amidst lush vegetation and grassy patches. This vegetal element adds a touch of tranquility to an otherwise urban setting. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also serves as a historical document showcasing how furnishings for civic spaces were integrated into architecture during that era. The presence of road avenues suggests bustling city life just beyond these hallowed walls. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured over a century ago, we can't help but appreciate both human ingenuity in constructing such magnificent structures and nature's ability to harmoniously coexist within them.
