EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable terracotta stele from the Tang Dynasty in China. The stele, now housed in the Xi'an Beilin Museum in Shaanxi Province, depicts a musician engaged in his artistry. The intricate details of this ancient artwork are beautifully captured by photographer Leonard de Selva. The musician is shown wearing an elaborate costume adorned with floral motifs, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the Tang Dynasty. His focus and concentration are evident as he plays a drum, one of the traditional instruments of that era. The relief carving on the stele brings to life both the forest setting and musical ambiance surrounding him. Steles like these were part of what was known as "the Forest of Stone Steles" which served as repositories for important texts and works of art during this period. This particular stele offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and musical traditions that thrived during the Tang Dynasty. Leonard de Selva's photograph not only captures this exquisite piece but also allows us to appreciate its historical significance and craftsmanship. Through his lens, we can immerse ourselves in Chinese history while marveling at the skillful execution and attention to detail present within this terracotta masterpiece.
