EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Richard Thomas Underwood takes us back to Greece in the early 19th century, specifically the 1930s. The image showcases the awe-inspiring Meteora Monasteries in Thessaly, which were established on towering rock formations during the turbulent fourteenth century. The photograph captures a breathtaking landscape of rugged hillsides and distant rocky peaks. Two men can be seen standing outdoors, their figures providing scale against the imposing backdrop. One of them is accompanied by a loyal dog, emphasizing the remote and isolated nature of this location. The monasteries themselves are perched high atop pillar-like rocks, seemingly defying gravity as they cling to these steep formations. This religious sanctuary exudes an air of tranquility amidst its challenging surroundings. Underwood's use of color adds depth and vibrancy to this scene from Greek history. The earthy tones highlight both the natural beauty of this geography and the man-made structures that have endured through centuries. This print offers a glimpse into a different era, where faith met with geographical challenges resulting in architectural marvels like these monasteries. It serves as a testament to human resilience and devotion while showcasing Greece's rich cultural heritage.
