EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the year 1890, capturing a mesmerizing view of "The sanctuary and the entrance to the Grotto of S. Rosalia". Located within the cavernous Mountain Pellegrino in Palermo, this architectural wonder is a testament to both human ingenuity and natural beauty. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the intricate details that adorn the portal and building elements. The column stands tall and proud, while windows with delicate tracery allow glimpses into what lies beyond. Above them all, a majestic tympanum adds an air of grandeur to this religious structure. The scene is set against a backdrop of clouds swirling ominously above the rugged mountain landscape. This juxtaposition between man-made sanctuary and untamed meteorological phenomena creates an atmosphere of awe-inspiring power. Our attention then shifts towards nature's handiwork as we observe how rocks have shaped this geomorphological masterpiece over centuries. The mountains surrounding the sanctuary provide a breathtaking panorama that stretches as far as our eyes can see. Intriguingly, amidst all these elements lies an unexpected surprise - a watch or clock instrument perched on top of stairs leading up towards the sanctuary. Perhaps it serves as a reminder for visitors to measure their time spent in contemplation or prayer within these hallowed grounds. Brogi's skillful composition allows us to appreciate not only the architectural marvels but also invites us into an exploration of time itself – both its measurement by human hands and its eternal passage witnessed through nature's geological formations. This print from Alinari truly captures history frozen in time – inviting us to reflect on faith, marvel at human achievements, and immerse ourselves in nature's wonders all at once.
