EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent view of the façade of the Church of SS. Nome di Gesù, known as il Gesù, along with the bustling piazza that lies opposite in Rome. The image transports us back to a bygone era, showcasing the architectural marvels of High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Taken around 1890, this photograph beautifully showcases Giacomo Della Porta's masterpiece which was constructed between 1571-1577. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element captured within this frame - from the ornate door adorned with bronze furnishings to the majestic columns and pilaster strips that grace its exterior. The viewer's gaze is drawn towards various architectural features such as windows, tabernacles, niches, tympanums and entablatures that add depth and character to this grand building. It stands tall as a symbol of religious devotion amidst a vibrant square filled with statues and sculptures. The inclusion of a street lamp reminds us that this is not merely an artistic representation but rather a snapshot frozen in time - capturing an urban scene where daily life unfolds against a backdrop of timeless beauty. As we immerse ourselves in this mesmerizing view of Rome's cityscape, we cannot help but notice coat-of-arms crests adorning buildings – emblems representing noble families or institutions deeply rooted in European history. With its intricate staircase leading up to the church entrance and string courses defining each level, this photograph encapsulates both historical significance and architectural brilliance. It serves as a testament to Europe's rich heritage spanning over two millennia. Anderson from Alinari has skillfully preserved this moment for posterity through his lens; allowing us today to appreciate not just an artwork or structure but also glimpse into an era long gone by.
