EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported to the bustling city of Delhi in India. The image showcases a young boy leaning against the majestic Column of Ashoka, a remarkable commemorative structure that stands tall amidst its surroundings. The boy's presence adds an intriguing element to the composition, as he gazes thoughtfully into the distance. His youthful innocence contrasts with the ancient history encapsulated within the column itself. It is as if he has stumbled upon this magnificent piece of Buddhist art and is captivated by its grandeur. Dating back to 423 A. D. , this artwork holds immense historical significance, representing both first and second millennium civilizations in Asia. Its intricate architecture and sculptural details speak volumes about the craftsmanship of that era. The photographer, Quilici Folco, skillfully captures not only the beauty of this archaeological wonder but also conveys a sense of timelessness through his lens. The monochromatic tones further enhance our appreciation for both past and present. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes evident that it is more than just a simple snapshot; it serves as a visual portal connecting us to centuries-old traditions and cultures. It reminds us of how art can transcend time and geography while leaving an indelible mark on those who encounter it. This photograph from Alinari allows us to reflect on our place in history while marveling at humanity's ability to create enduring works of art like the Column of Ashoka.
