EDITORS COMMENTS
River View with Seventeen Arch Bridge, Yuan Ming Yuan, Peking, 1860" is a captivating black and white albumen print photograph taken by the renowned Italian photographer Felice Beato. This historic image transports us back to the 1860s, offering a glimpse into the past of Peking, China. The photograph showcases the picturesque view of the Nanhu Lake with the iconic Seventeen Arch Bridge, also known as Shi Qi Kong Qiao, in the foreground. The bridge, a magnificent architectural feat, spans the lake and connects the scenic Yuan Ming Yuan, or the Garden of Perfect Brightness, to the mainland. The bridge's seventeen arches, each adorned with intricate carvings, create a harmonious blend of nature and art. The photograph captures the serene beauty of the lake, with its calm waters reflecting the surrounding greenery and the bridge's elegant arches. The distant mountains in the background add to the sense of depth and distance, emphasizing the vastness of the landscape. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of China and the artistic prowess of Felice Beato. Beato, an Italian photographer who spent much of his career documenting Asia, expertly captures the essence of this historic location, providing a window into the past for future generations. This photograph is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing art and cultural heritage. The image serves as a reminder of the importance of documenting history through art and photography, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of our world.
