Bonzes de la Grande Pagode, 1866
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the 19th century in Cambodia. Created by Emile Gsell, a French photographer, this albumen silver print showcases the remarkable architecture of Angkor Wat. In this mesmerizing image, we see a group of male monks known as "Bonzes" standing proudly in front of the magnificent Grande Pagode. Their shaven heads and serene expressions reflect their deep religious devotion and commitment to their faith. The intricate details of their robes are beautifully captured in this monochromatic composition. The photograph not only captures the physical beauty of these individuals but also serves as a testament to Cambodia's rich cultural heritage. It transports us to a time when temples like Angkor Wat were at the heart of Khmer civilization. Emile Gsell's skillful photography allows us to appreciate both the architectural grandeur and spiritual significance embodied within this sacred monument. As we gaze upon this historical relic through his lens, we are reminded of Southeast Asia's profound connection with religion and its enduring impact on society. This stunning portrait is now part of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, serving as an invaluable piece that preserves our collective history for generations to come.
