EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Rotonda of San Lorenzo in Mantova, Italy. Dating back to the Middle Ages and representing Romanesque architecture, this monumental church stands as a testament to Europe's rich history. The photograph was taken around 1938, while the artwork itself dates back even further to 1082. The image showcases various elements that make this structure truly remarkable. From its milestone-like appearance to its urban setting, the Rotonda of San Lorenzo seamlessly blends into its surroundings. Its exterior is adorned with exquisite furnishings designed for civic spaces, adding an air of grandeur and sophistication. As we delve deeper into the details captured by Alinari's lens, we can appreciate the intricate building elements that define this architectural masterpiece. The apse, exedra, tribune, cornice, column strips – each component contributes to the overall harmony and elegance of this edifice. Noteworthy features include stunning windows with both single and two light designs that allow natural light to flood into the interior space. A majestic bell tower rises above it all while a balcony provides a vantage point from which one can admire both the structure itself and panoramic views of Mantova. Adding life and character are statues and sculptures adorning every corner – their presence evoking stories from centuries past. Among them stands a watch instrument or clockromanesque symbolizing time measurement during Europe's first and second millenniums. Alinari has masterfully captured not only an architectural marvel but also a piece of history frozen in time through his lens. This print serves as a reminder of our collective heritage - an enduring tribute to European artistry spanning across centuries.
