EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in 1977 by renowned photographer Folco Quilici, this print titled "Shanghai. Sailing on the Yellow River towards Shanghai" transports us back to a time of exploration and adventure. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene as a boat sails gracefully along the mighty Yellow River, making its way towards the bustling city of Shanghai in China. The composition is beautifully balanced, with the river stretching out into the distance, flanked by lush greenery on both sides. The calm waters mirror the clear blue sky above, creating a serene atmosphere that invites contemplation and reflection. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost feel ourselves being carried away on that boat, immersed in the tranquility of nature's embrace. Quilici's masterful use of light adds depth and dimension to every element within the frame. The soft glow illuminates each ripple in the water and highlights every detail of life aboard the vessel – from its weathered wooden structure to its crew members engaged in their daily tasks. This timeless snapshot not only captures a specific moment but also encapsulates an era marked by change and transformation. It serves as a poignant reminder of China's rich history and cultural heritage while simultaneously evoking curiosity about what lies beyond those distant horizons. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let it transport us back to an era when photography was still analog – when capturing such breathtaking scenes required patience, skill, and an unwavering passion for storytelling through images. Let it inspire us to explore our own surroundings with fresh eyes and appreciate both nature's beauty and humanity's capacity for resilience amidst ever-changing landscapes.
