EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic ruins of the fortified city of Chittorgarh, which once served as the capital of the Sisodia Rajput dynasty in the region of Mewar, located in the state of Rajasthan, India. The photograph was taken in 1965, capturing a glimpse into this ancient civilization that dates back to the 7th century. The image transports us to a time long gone, where we can witness remnants of an impressive military and defensive structure. The towering walls and intricate architecture speak volumes about the grandeur and strength that once characterized this fortified city. It is evident that every stone has a story to tell. As we explore further within this archaeological marvel, we discover religious temples that were integral to daily life for its inhabitants. These non-Christian places of worship hold deep cultural significance and offer insight into their spiritual beliefs. Quilici Folco's artistic eye beautifully captures both the scale and intricacy present within these ruins. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to an era when civilizations thrived amidst such awe-inspiring structures. This photograph serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity throughout history. It reminds us how our ancestors built magnificent cities like Chittorgarh with limited resources but boundless determination. Alinari's stunning print allows us to appreciate not only our shared heritage but also invites us on a visual journey through ancient civilizations across Asia. Let it serve as a reminder that even though empires may crumble over time, their legacy lives on through art and photography like this remarkable piece by Quilici Folco.
