EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a momentous sight, the Tomb of Matteo Ricci and other Jesuits who arrived in China. Taken in 2005, Beijing (Peking), China provides the backdrop for this monumental tomb that stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of these influential figures. Dating back to the First and Second Millennium A. D. , this stele serves as a commemorative structure, showcasing remarkable architecture that blends seamlessly with its surroundings. The cemetery's serene atmosphere is enhanced by lush green grass and vibrant vegetation, creating a harmonious composition. The tomb itself is an exquisite work of art, displaying intricate sculptures that pay homage to non-Christian beliefs while honoring their Christian faith. It stands tall and proud, evoking feelings of reverence and respect for those laid to rest within its hallowed grounds. This photograph not only captures the physical beauty of this historical landmark but also encapsulates the rich cultural exchange between East and West. Matteo Ricci's arrival in China marked a significant turning point in history, bridging two worlds through his teachings and contributions. Photographer Quilici Folco has masterfully captured this momentous scene, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in its grandeur. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the profound impact these individuals had on Chinese society. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari, let us reflect on the importance of cultural understanding and appreciation. This image serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these great men continue to inspire generations with their dedication to knowledge and mutual respect across borders.
