EDITORS COMMENTS
This albumen print, titled "Pavilion on Water, S. China," was created by the renowned Italian photographer Felice Beato in the 1860s. The image transports us back in time to a serene moment in the nineteenth century, showcasing the stunning architecture of China against the backdrop of a tranquil body of water. The pavilion, with its intricate eaves and ornate facade, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of China. The building's graceful curves and delicate details are further accentuated by the reflection on the still water, creating a sense of harmony between nature and architecture. Beato skillfully captures the essence of the scene, with the pavilion's roof and tree branches forming a dynamic interplay of lines against the sky. The presence of men in the foreground, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, adds a sense of scale and context to the image. The black and white medium of the photograph enhances the timeless quality of the scene, inviting us to ponder the history and stories that lie within. This evocative image is a treasure in the annals of photographic history, and a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, architecture, or the nineteenth century. This photograph is part of the extensive collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a world-renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing art from all corners of the globe. The museum's commitment to collecting and exhibiting works like this one ensures that future generations can continue to be inspired by the beauty and richness of our shared cultural heritage.
