Giardini d'Estate dell'Imperatore
EDITORS COMMENTS
, captured by photographer Folco Quilici in 2005, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the enchanting Summer Palace of Beijing. This print showcases a serene view of water-lilies adorning the imperial garden, evoking a sense of tranquility and natural beauty. The image transports us to an era where emperors sought solace amidst lush greenery and meticulously designed landscapes. The vibrant water-lilies, with their delicate petals floating gracefully on the surface of the basin, create a striking contrast against the backdrop of ancient architecture that once housed government offices and political buildings. As we immerse ourselves in this visual masterpiece, we are reminded of nature's ability to harmonize with man-made structures. The botanical elements showcased here symbolize life's resilience and adaptability even within highly structured environments. It serves as a reminder that amidst power struggles and political complexities, there is always room for serenity and contemplation. Quilici's keen eye for detail captures every intricate aspect of this scene - from the gentle ripples on the water's surface to each petal delicately reflecting sunlight. Through his lens, he invites us to appreciate not only the aesthetic appeal but also the significance these gardens held within Chinese culture. This photograph transcends time, allowing us to witness firsthand how nature intertwines with human creations. It reminds us that even in bustling cities like Beijing (Peking), pockets of tranquility can be found if one knows where to look. "Giardini d'Estate dell'Imperatore" stands as both an artistic marvel and a testament to China's rich history – an exquisite portrayal capturing both its natural wonders and architectural grandeur.
