EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by the talented photographer Quilici, we are transported back in time to the ancient city of Cairo. The image showcases the hauntingly beautiful tomb of Sultan Barkuk, a remarkable architectural masterpiece that dates back to the 15th century. As our eyes wander through the frame, we can't help but be mesmerized by the intricate details and grandeur of this historical site. The tomb stands tall against the backdrop of a seemingly deserted city, evoking a sense of mystery and awe. Its majestic domes and delicate minarets rise gracefully into the sky, showcasing an exquisite blend of Islamic artistry. The composition is masterfully executed as Quilici captures every nuance with precision. The play between light and shadow adds depth to each element within the frame, enhancing our appreciation for both its beauty and historical significance. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Cairo's rich cultural heritage, particularly during its Mameluke era when it was considered one of Egypt's most vibrant cities. It transports us to a different time altogether—a moment frozen in history where past meets present. Quilici's lens has immortalized this architectural gem for generations to come. Through his lens, we are granted access to an extraordinary world filled with tales from centuries ago—stories whispered through stone walls and engraved in every inch of Sultan Barkuk's final resting place. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari, let us take a moment to appreciate not only Quilici's artistic prowess but also reflect on how these remnants from antiquity continue to shape our understanding and admiration for civilizations long gone.
