EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable terracotta stele from the Tang Dynasty in China. The stele, on display at the Xi'an Beilin Museum in Shaanxi Province, depicts a musician playing a harp amidst a forest of stone steles. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this ancient artwork are truly awe-inspiring. The musician is dressed in traditional attire, reflecting the cultural richness of the Tang Dynasty. With its low relief technique, every curve and line on the instrument and dress comes to life. The forest setting adds an enchanting element to the composition, transporting viewers back in time to an era where music played an integral role in Chinese society. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear the melodious tunes that once filled these ancient woods. This photograph by Leonard de Selva beautifully captures not only the beauty of this particular stele but also highlights its significance as part of China's rich artistic heritage. It serves as a reminder that art has always been deeply intertwined with culture and history. As we admire this stunning piece, let us appreciate how it connects us to our past and allows us to marvel at human creativity across centuries.
