EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing Fire altars from the 3rd-7th century, captured by renowned photographer John Bethell. The image takes us back in time to the Sasanian era, specifically at Naqsh-e Rostam in Iran, where these ancient religious structures were located. The fire altars depicted here hold immense significance as they were central to Zoroastrian rituals and offerings. These ruins bear witness to a rich Persian history and provide a glimpse into the profound spiritual practices of that time. Bethell's photography skillfully captures the intricate details of these altars, showcasing their architectural beauty despite being remnants of an archaeological site. The composition allows viewers to appreciate both the grandeur and delicate craftsmanship involved in creating these sacred spaces. As we delve into this photograph, we are transported to a bygone era when Sassanian rule prevailed over Persia. It serves as a reminder of how religion played an integral role in shaping societies throughout history. Through this evocative image, Bethell invites us to explore not only the physical remains but also ponder upon the cultural heritage left behind by our ancestors. This photograph is truly a testament to his talent for capturing timeless moments frozen within frames – moments that continue to inspire awe and curiosity even centuries later.
