EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FVQ-F-162927-0000" transports us back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases a majestic olive tree standing proudly in the picturesque town of Bordighera. The olive tree, with its gnarled trunk and sprawling branches, takes center stage in this composition by Ugo Jung, a talented photographer from Palermo. Its fruit-bearing nature is evident as clusters of olives dangle delicately from its boughs. This ancient symbol of peace and prosperity has been an integral part of Mediterranean culture for centuries. Juxtaposed against the backdrop of wooded areas, this landscape exudes tranquility and natural beauty. The lush vegetation surrounding the olive tree adds depth to the scene, creating a harmonious balance between man-made elements and those belonging to the vegetable kingdom. Jung's mastery lies not only in capturing the physicality of this magnificent tree but also in evoking emotions through his lens. One can almost feel the warmth of sunlight filtering through its leaves or hear whispers carried by gentle breezes rustling among its branches. Dating back to somewhere between 1910-1920, this timeless photograph offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when life was simpler yet filled with wonderment at nature's wonders. It serves as a reminder that even amidst rapid urbanization, there are still places where one can find solace and serenity within Mother Nature's embrace. As we admire this remarkable work by Ugo Jung, let it inspire us to appreciate our surroundings more deeply – whether it be an ancient olive tree or any other element that connects us to our roots – reminding us that sometimes all we need is just one moment captured on film to transport ourselves across time and space
