EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing stone animals that adorn the street leading to the Ming Tombs in 1969, Peking (Beijing), China. The intricate details of these ornate sculptures showcase the rich history and architectural beauty of this ancient city. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported back in time to a period when Beijing was known as Peking. The stone animals stand proudly along the road, symbolizing both power and protection for those who pass by. These fantastical creatures seem almost alive with their fierce expressions and majestic poses. The photograph not only showcases these magnificent stone animals but also provides a glimpse into Chinese history during the Ming Dynasty. Dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. , this era is renowned for its cultural achievements and imperial grandeur. Beyond its historical significance, this image also offers insights into contemporary nations, populations, territories, and transportation methods. It serves as a window into Asia's ethnography, folklore, anthropology while highlighting China's unique landscape with its urban structures. Photographer Folco Quilici masterfully captures this scene on his journey through China - an adventure filled with gig moments on the road by land. His lens immortalizes these remarkable stone creatures against a backdrop of timeless architecture. This print from Alinari is more than just an artwork; it is a visual narrative that transports us across time and space to witness firsthand one of Beijing's most iconic landmarks – where tradition meets modernity amidst centuries-old tombs belonging to emperors long gone but never forgotten.
