EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Quilici, Folco titled "St. Peter's (St. Peter's State of the Vatican City Obelisk Ptolemaic Period, Egypt - Egyptian Art, Africa, Ancient Civilization)" takes us on a journey through time and space. The image showcases an extraordinary blend of art and history that is sure to leave viewers in awe. The photograph captures a remarkable artifact from the Ptolemaic period in Egypt – the obelisk located at St. Peter's Square in Vatican City. This ancient structure stands tall against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, its weathered surface bearing witness to centuries gone by. At first glance, one cannot help but be struck by the intricate details carved into this magnificent piece of Egyptian art. The artist skillfully portrays various elements such as animals, allegories, abstract concepts, and symbols throughout the obelisk's surface. Among these depictions is a majestic lion symbolizing strength and power – an emblematic representation often associated with ancient civilizations. The juxtaposition of this historical artwork against modern surroundings creates a fascinating contrast that highlights both its timeless beauty and cultural significance. It serves as a reminder of Africa's rich heritage and contributions to human civilization. Dating back to 37 AD, this artwork has stood the test of time – surviving wars, conquests, and countless generations who have marveled at its grandeur. Through Quilici's lens in 1975 when this photograph was taken; we are granted access to experience firsthand what many may only dream about. In essence, this print not only captures an exquisite piece of ancient Egyptian art but also invites us to reflect upon our shared human history and appreciate the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
