EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the ancient city of Chichen Itza, Mexico. The focal point of the image is a remarkable stone statue nestled within the confines of the pyramid known as "Of the Castle". With its intricate details and imposing presence, this sculpture stands as a testament to the incredible craftsmanship and artistic prowess of its creators. Dating back to 1968, when this photograph was captured by Quilici Folco, it serves as an invaluable record of an archaeological find that continues to captivate scholars and enthusiasts alike. The statue's origins remain shrouded in mystery, adding an air of intrigue to its already awe-inspiring presence. The careful composition allows us to appreciate not only the scale but also the delicate features carved into every inch of this magnificent work. From facial expressions that seem almost lifelike to meticulously crafted adornments adorning its body, each element tells a story waiting patiently for archeologists and historians to unravel. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari, we are transported back through centuries, imagining what life must have been like during Chichen Itza's heyday. We can't help but marvel at how such a colossal structure could be constructed without modern technology or machinery. Quilici Folco's skillful capture invites us into a world where artistry meets archaeology—a world where sculptures like these were revered symbols of power and cultural significance. This photograph serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a reminder that there is still so much left undiscovered beneath layers of history.
