EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of religious devotion in a bygone era. Taken by Henri Le Secq in 1852, it showcases an angel holding a sundial at the Church of Chartres in France. The image is printed on salted paper from a waxed-paper negative, lending it a timeless quality that transports viewers back to the mid-19th century. The angel stands tall and proud, its delicate wings gracefully spread open as if ready to take flight. With eyes closed and head slightly tilted towards the heavens, it exudes an air of serenity and contemplation. The intricate details of its flowing robes are beautifully captured, adding depth and texture to the composition. Le Secq's masterful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic contrast that enhances the ethereal atmosphere surrounding this celestial figure. The soft glow illuminating the angel's face suggests divine radiance while casting mysterious shadows on its surroundings. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Quint Lox Limited's Liszt Collection, we can't help but be transported to another time - a time when faith was deeply intertwined with everyday life. It serves as a poignant reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to reflect upon our own spiritual journey amidst the ever-changing world around us.
