Old Legends. Loreta. Prague Vintage by Jenny Rainbow.

The legend says that Loreta (in Italian Santa Casa) was a house where St. Mary was living when the angel appeared to her. During the battles with Saracens (at the end of 13th century) this building was taken apart and transported over the Mediterranean Sea to Italy, to a small city called Loreto, where it was reconstructed. As you can imagine, it quickly became a popular pilgrimage site. The fame of Santa Casa reached its peak in the 16th century, when different renaissance copies of this building were built all across Europe. And that brings us to the story of Loreta in Prague.

Prague’s Loreta was built between 1626-1631. It took another forty years to build the surrounding cloisters, which were remodeled in the 18th century by probably the most famous baroque architect in Prague – Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer.

Jenny Rainbow is my artistic and photographer's pseudonym and for now its truly became my second name. I am moving a lot overseas, influenced by many different cultures. By my graduation Im a Fine Art artist and my specialty was design and painting, but when digital camera's technology starts its glorious way I changed a direction and now Im dealing only with photography, but very often using in images the Fine Art techniques and effects. Photography is my passion & the camera is my great faithful partner, anywhere I go. Actually my photography is kind of language Im speaking to the world and the way to share the beauty of this planet...
