EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of one of Auguste Rodin's iconic bronze sculptures, the Burghers of Calais. Created in 2005 by Ethel Davies, this image showcases one of these powerful figures standing tall in Victoria Tower Gardens, located outside the Houses of Parliament in London. The sculpture itself is a commemoration of an extraordinary event that took place during the Siege of Calais in 1347. In a selfless act to spare their town from destruction, six brave citizens offered to sacrifice their lives. This poignant moment is frozen in time by Rodin's masterful hands and immortalized through Davies' lens. Against a sunny blue sky backdrop, the vertical composition emphasizes both the towering presence and vulnerability conveyed by this figure. The contrast between the gleaming bronze sculpture and its surroundings creates an ethereal atmosphere that resonates with viewers. Davies' photograph not only captures this historic artwork but also transports us back to that significant period when courage and sacrifice prevailed over adversity. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences throughout history. This image holds immense cultural value as it preserves both artistic mastery and historical significance for generations to come. It stands as a testament to how art can transcend time, evoking emotions and inspiring contemplation even centuries after its creation.
