EDITORS COMMENTS

"Paradise: A Glimpse into Heavenly Realms and Earthly Delights" Step into a realm of blissful serenity, where Amitabha, the Buddha of the Western Pure Land, reigns supreme. This exquisite artwork from ca. 1700 transports us to Sukhavati, an ethereal paradise that promises ultimate enlightenment. As we delve deeper into this captivating journey, W. Fairbank's intricate plan of Sheffield in 1797 unfolds before our eyes. The juxtaposition of urban life with heavenly imagery reminds us that even amidst bustling cities, fragments can be found. Hieronymus Bosch's "The Garden of Earthly Delights, " painted around 1500, mesmerizes with its surreal depiction of pleasure and temptation. Each panel invites contemplation on the duality between earthly desires and spiritual fulfillment. From high above Gustavia Port in St. Barths, an aerial view captures the essence of Caribbean paradise - turquoise waters lapping against pristine shores under a radiant sun-kissed sky. Horseshoe Bay beach in Bermuda further enchants with its idyllic beauty nestled within Central America's tropical embrace. Dante Alighieri's "Paradiso" takes us on a celestial voyage as saintly figures form a celestial rose in Canto 31 – an awe-inspiring sight that embodies divine unity and harmony beyond mortal comprehension. In Novgorod Icon's "Last Judgement, " tempera on wood creates a vivid portrayal of souls ascending or descending towards their eternal fate - reminding us to seek redemption while cherishing moments on earth as they shape our destiny. Yet not all they are heavenly; evil lurks too. As Satan descends upon Earth in dramatic fashion, chaos ensues – serving as a reminder that true paradise cannot exist without acknowledging darkness alongside light. Esperance Beach offers solace through its breathtaking aerial shot capturing nature’s splendor.
