EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent facade of the Church of Saints Dominic and Sixtus in Rome, a true masterpiece by Vincenzo della Greca. The church's exterior is a harmonious blend of Late Baroque, Baroque, and Renaissance-Baroque styles, representing the rich architectural heritage of Europe across different periods. The photograph was taken around 1890, capturing the timeless beauty of this architectural gem that dates back to 1655-1663. Vincenzo della Greca's meticulous work can be seen through the two orders of pilaster strips coupled together on the facade. These decorative elements add depth and grandeur to an already impressive structure. Every detail in this image tells a story. From the intricately carved capitals to the elegant windows and tabernacles adorned with sculptures, each element contributes to creating a showy yet balanced composition. The high relief sculptures depicting amphoras, candelabra, and crosses further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. One cannot help but admire how Della Greca skillfully combined various architectural elements into one cohesive design. The staircase leading up to the entrance adds a sense of grandeur while showcasing both Renaissance and Baroque influences. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork captured by Anderson from Alinari, we are transported back in time to witness centuries-old craftsmanship at its finest. This print not only captures an exquisite piece of architecture but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history.
