EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the grandeur of Turkey's historic city, Istanbul. The image takes us back in time to the magnificent Hippodrome of Constantinople, where ancient civilizations once thrived. At its center stands the remarkable Obelisk of Thutmosis III, a testament to the enduring legacy of pharaohs and their architectural prowess. The base of this towering obelisk reveals an awe-inspiring bas-relief depicting Emperor Theodosius offering a laurel wreath to a victorious athlete from his Kathisma at the Hippodrome. Transported all the way from Egypt by Theodosius himself in 390 AD, this monumental structure symbolizes both cultural exchange and imperial power. The stone obelisk commands attention with its imposing presence against Istanbul's skyline. Its front view captivates viewers with intricate details that have stood the test of time. This single object serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to create lasting works that transcend generations. As we gaze upon this national landmark set amidst an open outdoor space, devoid of people but rich in history, we are transported back to an era when Roman emperors reigned supreme and human representation was immortalized through art. This photograph encapsulates not only the beauty and significance of ancient civilization but also invites us to ponder our own place within history's tapestry.
