EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and magnificence of the Entrance to the Temple of Jupiter or the Temple of the Sun in Heliopolis, also known as Baalbek, an ancient Syrian city now located in Lebanon.

The photograph reveals a landscape filled with ruins that transport us back to an ancient civilization. The building elements are meticulously crafted, displaying intricate sculptures and decorative sections that speak volumes about the skill and craftsmanship of those who built it during the imperial period. The entrance vestibule stands tall and proud, adorned with a frieze that tells stories from times long gone. The entablature above adds to its majestic presence, reminding us of its historical significance. As we gaze upon this stationary archaeological work frozen in time through Bonfils' lens, we can't help but feel awe-inspired by its sheer size and beauty. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity throughout history.
