EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Procession to the Salute" transports us back to early 20th century Venice, Italy. Taken in 1925 by Edward Millington Synge, it captures a moment of profound religious significance. The image showcases a group of people crossing a bridge on their way to the magnificent church of Santa Maria Della Salute. Known as the Salute, this grand church was constructed as an expression of gratitude for Venice's deliverance from a devastating plague outbreak in 1630. Its name itself holds deep meaning, signifying health and well-being. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the power of faith and collective gratitude. The etching-like quality adds an air of nostalgia to the photograph, emphasizing its historical value. The monochrome palette further enhances the timeless beauty captured within each detail. We can almost feel ourselves walking alongside these individuals as they make their solemn procession towards salvation. Through this remarkable piece of artistry by Synge, we are transported into an era where religion played a central role in society's fabric. It serves as both a visual record and an invitation to reflect on our own beliefs and expressions of gratitude today. This print is not just about capturing a moment; it is about preserving history and reminding us that even amidst challenging times like plagues or pandemics, there is always hope for deliverance through faith and unity.
