EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bryan Pickering takes us on a journey to the heart of Finland's rich history. The image showcases the inner courtyard of Turku Castle, an architectural gem that dates back to around 1280 when it served as a Swedish stronghold. Despite enduring damage during World War II, this magnificent castle underwent an extensive fifteen-year rebuild, preserving its grandeur and historical significance. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of Finnish and Scandinavian architecture with its sturdy stone walls and intricate details. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the scene, highlighting the timeless beauty of this ancient fortress. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, imagining knights roaming these very grounds centuries ago. Turku Castle stands as a testament to Finland's resilience and determination to preserve its cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that even in times of destruction and adversity, there is always hope for restoration and renewal. Bryan Pickering's skillful composition allows us to appreciate every aspect of this remarkable structure - from its imposing presence against the clear blue sky to the delicate carvings adorning its walls. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to explore our own connection with history and marvel at mankind's ability to create enduring masterpieces like Turku Castle.
