EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Medusa head, nestled within the enchanting Yerebatan Sarnici, also known as the sunken cistern or basilica cistern. Located in the Sultanahmet district of Istanbul, Turkey, this ancient relic dates back to the Byzantine era (5th century). The image beautifully captures the intricate details and mythical allure of Medusa's visage. With her serpentine locks and piercing gaze, she exudes an air of mystery and power. The sculpture stands as a testament to the rich mythology that has shaped cultures throughout history. Surrounded by imposing columns and colonnades in classic Byzantine style, this artwork transports viewers to a time long gone. It is a reminder of the imperial grandeur that once characterized this region. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph also highlights nature's presence amidst human creations. A wild turkey perches on one of the columns nearby while other farm animals and birds roam freely in their surroundings. Stefano Baldini skillfully captures not only the artistry but also the essence of this iconic landmark through his lens. This print serves as a window into both past civilizations and present-day life in Istanbul.
