EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide, hailing from the late 1890s, transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Turin, Italy. The image in Slide Number 3 from Box 214 of the Italy Coloured, Boswell Collection, showcases the breathtaking view of the Capuchin Monastery and Mount, nestled atop a hill against a clear blue sky. The monastery, with its distinctive dome and intricately designed facade, stands proudly against the backdrop of the undulating hills, exuding an aura of tranquility and spirituality. The scene unfolds further as the eye travels down the hillside to the picturesque buildings along the banks of the River Po. The river, meandering through the city, adds a sense of vitality and energy to the serene landscape. This stunning depiction of Turin's architectural and natural beauty is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Italy during the late 19th century. The Capuchin Monastery, with its long and intriguing history, has been an essential part of Turin's religious and cultural fabric for centuries. The monastery, built in the 16th century, is renowned for its beautiful frescoes, ornate interiors, and the famous 'Holy Shroud' – a revered Christian relic believed to be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ. This exquisite lantern slide not only serves as a window into the past but also offers a glimpse into the enduring allure of Italy's artistic, historical, and spiritual heritage. The intricate details of the monastery, the vibrant colors of the buildings, and the tranquil setting of the scene make this a truly captivating and evocative image.
