EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remains of the magnificent statues that once adorned the temple known as the "Morning Star" atop the pyramid in Tula, Mexico. The Toltec civilization, which thrived during the first and second millennium A. D. , left behind a rich legacy of art and architecture. Dating back to 850-1165 ca, these statues stand as a testament to the grandeur and artistic prowess of this ancient civilization. Despite being captured in 1968 by photographer Folco Quilici, their beauty still shines through time. The image captures not only the intricate details of these sculptures but also provides a glimpse into the landscape surrounding them. Set against rocky areas, these ruins tell stories of an era long gone yet preserved for generations to come. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how Toltec artists skillfully crafted each sculpture with precision and devotion. Their work is a reflection of their beliefs and cultural significance. This artwork serves as a reminder that civilizations rise and fall but leave behind remnants that continue to captivate our imagination. It invites us to explore history's mysteries while appreciating humanity's creative spirit. Let this print be an invitation for contemplation – an opportunity to marvel at both human ingenuity and nature's ability to preserve fragments from centuries past. May it inspire us all to delve deeper into our shared heritage while cherishing its beauty.
