EDITORS COMMENTS
Emperor's Summer Palace, Peking, 1860" is an evocative and historically significant albumen print captured by the renowned Victorian-era photographer Felice Beato. This monochrome image transports us back in time to the heart of China during the tumultuous 1860s. The photograph showcases the grandeur and intricacy of the Emperor's Summer Palace in Peking (Beijing), a royal residence that once served as a retreat for the Chinese emperors. The palace complex, nestled amidst lush greenery and serene water bodies, is a breathtaking blend of Chinese and Western architectural influences. At the forefront of the image, a majestic lion statue stands guard, its stone body weathered by time. The statue, a symbol of power and protection, adds an air of regality to the scene. In the background, we see the impressive facade of the palace, adorned with intricate carvings and ornate details. The image captures not only the physical beauty of the palace but also the rich cultural heritage it represents. Felice Beato, an Italian photographer, was known for his extensive documentation of Asia during the 19th century. His photographs, including this one, offer a unique window into the past, providing valuable insights into the history, art, and architecture of various Asian countries. This photograph, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the enduring allure of the Emperor's Summer Palace and the power of photography to transport us through time and space.
