EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Beijing. The 'Temple of Heaven' in the winter light" transports us to a serene moment in China's capital city during the winter season. Taken by renowned photographer Folco Quilici in 1969, this image captures the timeless beauty of one of Beijing's most iconic landmarks. The Temple of Heaven, known for its architectural grandeur and spiritual significance, stands majestically against a backdrop of soft winter light. Its vibrant reds and intricate details are accentuated by the ethereal glow that envelops it, creating a truly enchanting sight. As snowflakes delicately dust the temple's rooftops and surrounding gardens, an air of tranquility fills the scene. Quilici masterfully frames this composition, allowing us to appreciate both the grand scale of the temple complex and its intricate design elements. The symmetrical layout draws our eyes towards the central structure with its distinctive blue-tiled roof crowned by a golden orb – an emblematic symbol within Chinese culture. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph also offers glimpses into daily life during that era. People dressed warmly can be seen strolling along pathways or engaging in quiet conversations amidst nature's wintry embrace. Their presence adds a sense of scale and human connection to an otherwise monumental setting. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Alinari's collection, we are reminded not only of Beijing's rich history but also how photography has preserved these moments for generations to come. Quilici’s artistry allows us to experience firsthand what it might have been like to witness such splendorous scenes during that particular time period. In essence, this print serves as both a visual testament to China’s cultural heritage and as an invitation for viewers around the world to immerse themselves in Beijing’s awe-inspiring beauty even from afar
