Cathedral of Siena, Tuscany, Italy
Siena Cathedral (Duomo di Siena) is a medieval church in Siena, Italy, dedicated from its earliest days as a Roman Catholic Marian church, and now dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta (Holy Mary, Our Lady of the Assumption). The cathedral itself was originally designed and completed between 1215 and 1263 on the site of an earlier structure. It has the form of a Latin cross with a slightly projecting transept, a dome and a bell tower. The dome rises from a hexagonal base with supporting columns. The lantern atop the dome was added by Gian Lorenzo Bernini. The nave is separated from the two aisles by semicircular arches. The exterior and interior are constructed of white and greenish-black marble in alternating stripes, with addition of red marble on the fa'ade. Black and white are the symbolic colors of Siena, etiologically linked to black and white horses of the legendary citys founders, Senius and Aschius

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of the Cathedral of Siena in Tuscany, Italy. The cathedral, originally built as a Roman Catholic Marian church, is now dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. Its construction dates back to the 13th century and showcases a stunning blend of French Gothic and Tuscan architectural styles. The image reveals the cathedral's impressive structure, with its Latin cross shape, projecting transept, dome, and bell tower. The hexagonal base supporting the dome stands out against the clear blue sky. Gian Lorenzo Bernini's addition of a lantern atop the dome adds an elegant touch. The exterior and interior are adorned with alternating stripes of white and greenish-black marble, symbolizing Siena's colors. Additionally, red marble embellishes the façade beautifully. These color choices pay homage to Senius and Aschius - legendary founders of Siena - who were associated with black and white horses. Artie Photography skillfully captures this iconic landmark from an outdoor vantage point that showcases both its grandeur and its integration into Siena's urban skyline. This photograph allows viewers to appreciate not only the architectural details but also the historical significance embedded within every inch of this medieval masterpiece.
