EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Swiss guard standing tall in front of the Vatican, Rome. The vibrant red uniform and distinctive helmet make for a striking visual against the backdrop of one of Italy's most famous landmarks. The side view perspective allows us to appreciate every detail, from the feathers adorning his hat to his focused expression. The Swiss guard has been faithfully protecting the Pope and serving as a symbol of security since the 16th century. Their presence is not only significant for their historical role but also adds an element of grandeur to any visit to Vatican City. In this image, we see a single figure amidst a bustling crowd, emphasizing both their individuality and importance within this historic setting. The composition draws our attention to the foreground, where our gaze meets with that of the guard's unwavering determination. As we admire this photograph, we are transported to Europe, specifically Lazio region in Italy – a place known for its rich history and cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that travel can be an opportunity not just for leisure but also for immersing ourselves in different traditions and experiencing moments like these firsthand. Godong/Robert Harding has skillfully captured this moment through photography, allowing us all to appreciate the beauty and significance held within this single frame.
