EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the majestic lion of S. Marco standing proudly on the port of Forte S. Niccol in the canal of Sibenik, Croatia. The date of this photograph falls between 1920 and 1940, a period marked by significant historical events. The lion itself is an extraordinary work of art, a sculpture that once symbolized power, strength, and authority. Sadly, it now stands as a testament to destruction and loss. Despite its current state of ruin, one cannot help but marvel at its intricate details and craftsmanship. In this image, the lion appears weathered by time and elements; cracks mar its surface while moss clings to its stone body. Yet even in decay, there is an undeniable sense of grandeur emanating from this monument. This photograph not only captures the physical presence of the lion but also serves as a powerful reminder of human communication through art. It speaks volumes about our ability to create lasting works that transcend generations and evoke emotions long after their creators have faded into anonymity. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari's collection without knowing who captured it or why they chose to do so, we are reminded that sometimes beauty can be found in mystery itself. This image invites us to reflect on our own place within history – both as individuals with unique stories to tell and as partakers in collective narratives woven together through shared experiences. Let us cherish these remnants from the past for they hold within them fragments of forgotten tales waiting patiently for someone willing enough to listen with open eyes and receptive hearts.
