EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Quilici, Folco titled "Bengala, irrigation of fields" takes us on a visual journey to the lush landscapes of India's Bengala region. The photograph, taken in 1965, captures a scene that epitomizes the essence of farming and country life. In this mesmerizing image, we are transported to the banks of a serene river where an intricate system of irrigation is underway. The composition showcases a harmonious blend of nature and human intervention as farmers diligently work to irrigate their fields. Their dedication is evident as they navigate through the shallow waters with purposeful steps. The architecture and structure surrounding the river course add depth to the photograph. A rustic wooden bridge stretches across part of the riverbank while nearby huts stand tall amidst abundant vegetation. These elements not only provide shelter but also serve as reminders of how closely intertwined humans are with their natural surroundings. Amidst this idyllic setting, a child stands out in portrait-like fashion against his verdant backdrop. His innocent gaze reflects both curiosity and wonder at witnessing this age-old practice firsthand. It serves as a poignant reminder that agriculture has been passed down through generations in these lands. Vegetal elements dominate the frame; vibrant greenery blankets every inch around them - from towering trees to delicate shrubs lining the shore. This abundance speaks volumes about nature's generosity and its role in sustaining livelihoods for those who depend on it. Quilici's masterful capture transports us into an enchanting world where rural life thrives alongside flowing rivers and fertile soil. Through this timeless image, we gain insight into an essential aspect of Indian culture – one that celebrates harmony between man and nature while nurturing communities through agriculture.
