EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Romania: Ghinda, Children at the altar" transports us back to the 1930s, a time when innocence and curiosity were beautifully captured through the lens of photographer Kurt Hielscher. The image showcases a group of children standing in awe before an ornate church altar in Ghinda, Romania. The composition is striking, as the children's small figures are juxtaposed against the grandeur of their surroundings. Their wide-eyed expressions reveal a sense of wonderment and reverence for this sacred space. It is as if they have been transported into another world altogether. Hielscher's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph. The intricate carvings on the altar and the soft lighting filtering through stained glass windows create an ethereal atmosphere that adds depth to the scene. Each child's unique facial features and clothing tell their own story, reflecting both individuality and unity within their community. This image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a window into Romanian culture during this period. It offers us a glimpse into religious practices and traditions that hold great significance for these young individuals. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how art has the power to transport us across borders and generations while preserving precious moments like these for eternity.
