EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the exquisite beauty of a niche on the side of the bell tower of the cathedral of San Giusto in Trieste. Within this niche stands a remarkable Romanesque-Byzantine statue of Saint Justus, whose head dates back to the ancient Roman period. The image transports us to an era long gone, immersing us in the rich history and architectural marvels that define Europe's Middle Ages. The craftsmanship evident in every detail is awe-inspiring, reflecting the skill and dedication of those who created this masterpiece during the 14th century. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn not only to Saint Justus but also to his surroundings. Lush vegetation gracefully intertwines with intricate vegetal elements adorning both sides of the niche. It is as if nature itself pays homage to this revered saint and his Christian faith. The composition expertly balances light and shadow, accentuating each contour and texture with precision. This play between darkness and illumination adds depth and mystery to an already enchanting scene. Dating back nearly a millennium ago, this artwork has stood witness to countless events throughout history – wars waged, empires risen and fallen – yet it remains steadfast atop Trieste's majestic cathedral bell tower. Alinari Fratelli's masterful capture allows us access into a bygone era; it invites contemplation on humanity's enduring quest for spirituality amidst ever-changing times. This print serves as a testament not only to artistic brilliance but also as a reminder that even within centuries-old stone statues lies an eternal connection between past, present, and future generations.
