EDITORS COMMENTS
Spain: Biscaya, Ancient gravestone in the Colegiata of Cenarruzza (b/w photo) captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of a weathered gravestone found within the ancient walls of the Colegiata of Cenarruzza. This photograph, taken by renowned German photographer Kurt Hielscher in the 1920s, transports us to a bygone era. The image showcases intricate details etched onto the gravestone's surface, revealing clues about its age and cultural origins. As we gaze upon this relic from centuries past, we are reminded of Spain's rich history and its enduring influence on European culture. Hielscher's masterful use of light and shadow adds depth to this composition, highlighting every crack and crevice on the stone's surface. The monochromatic palette enhances our focus on these minute details while evoking a sense of timelessness. This print is part of Hielscher's larger body of work titled Das Unbekannte Spanien (The Unknown Spain), which sought to explore lesser-known aspects of Spanish architecture, landscapes, and daily life. Through his lens, he captured not only physical structures but also intangible elements such as tradition, spirituality, and human connection. As we contemplate this photograph today, it serves as a visual portal into both Spain's past and Hielscher's artistic vision. It reminds us that even in stillness lies an abundance of stories waiting to be discovered.
