EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Athanasios Papadopoulos transports us to the heart of Havana, Cuba, where the iconic National Capitol stands tall and proud. The low angle view emphasizes the grandeur of the bronze Statue of the Republic, which gracefully rests just beneath the cupola of this architectural masterpiece. As we gaze at this remarkable sculpture created by Angelo Zanelli, we are reminded of its profound symbolism in Cuban politics and government. It serves as a testament to historical figures such as Fidel Castro and Gerardo Machado, while also representing institutions like the Cuban Academy of Sciences and National Library. This room within El Capitolio is known as "The Room of Lost Steps" where history comes alive through art. Standing at an impressive height of 17 meters (56 feet) and weighing a staggering 49 tons, this Roman-inspired artwork exudes strength and power. Its classic design pays homage to ancient civilizations while seamlessly blending with Cuba's rich history and culture. Beyond its political significance, this statue has become a must-see attraction for tourists from around the world. Visitors flock here to marvel at its sheer size and admire its mythical guardian-like presence. As we contemplate this photograph print from EyeUbiquitous, it invites us to delve into Havana's past while appreciating the beauty that lies within its architecture, artistry, and timeless allure.
