EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene in front of the magnificent Cathedral of St. Thomas, located in Chennai (formerly known as Madras), Tamil Nadu, India. The image showcases a chorus of young girls standing proudly in front of this architectural marvel. The Cathedral of St. Thomas stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Tamil Nadu, dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. Its grandeur is evident from the intricate details visible in this photograph - from the apse, exedra, tribune, building elements to its decorative sections. The architecture itself is awe-inspiring; one cannot help but admire the beautiful window designs that adorn its walls. The nave stretches out majestically towards an imposing spire that seems to touch the heavens above. This artwork transports us back in time to XVI century India when it was created by Quilici, Folco. It serves as a visual reminder of how art can capture moments frozen forever in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its cultural importance for both Chennai and Tamil Nadu. This print allows us to appreciate not just the beauty found within these walls but also celebrates the vibrant spirit embodied by these young girls who form part of our shared human experience. Let this image serve as an invitation for all those who come across it - an invitation to explore and immerse oneself into the rich tapestry that is Indian history and culture captured within this stunning architectural masterpiece.
