EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the lifelike bronze bust of Jose Alonso Trelles, a renowned Uruguayan poet who wrote under the pseudonym "El Viejo Pancho." The monument, erected in 1957, is located in Ribadeo, a picturesque coastal town in the northwest of Spain, where Trelles spent some of his formative years. Born in 1857, Trelles was a prominent figure in the literary scene of both Uruguay and Spain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works, which often reflected the beauty and melancholy of the natural world, resonated deeply with readers on both sides of the Atlantic. The monument, sculpted by the renowned Spanish artist Manuel Ferreiro, is a fitting tribute to the poet's enduring legacy. The bust is situated in a serene park overlooking the Bay of Biscay, providing a tranquil setting for visitors to reflect on Trelles' life and work. Trelles spent his childhood in Ribadeo before moving to Uruguay as a young man. He returned to Spain later in life, settling in Galicia, where he was deeply influenced by the region's rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. The poet's connection to Ribadeo and Spain is commemorated in this beautiful monument, which stands as a testament to his enduring influence on literature and the arts. The photograph captures the timeless quality of the monument, with the weathered bronze bust seemingly lost in thought, as if contemplating the beauty of the world around him. The image invites us to reflect on Trelles' life and work, and to consider the enduring power of art to connect us across time and place.
