EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white albumen print, titled "Gate to Buddhist Sanctuary," was created by the renowned 19th-century photographer Felice Beato in the 1860s. The image transports us back in time to Asia during the nineteenth century, where we find ourselves standing before an intricately decorated Buddhist sanctuary entrance. The gateway, with its ornate carvings and rich colors, serves as the way in to the sacred space within. Beato, an Italian photographer who gained fame for his documentation of the Indian Mutiny and other far-flung locales, captured this image during his extensive travels through China. The photograph showcases the unique blend of Asian and Chinese architectural influences, with the gate's facade adorned with intricate patterns and decorative elements that reflect the deep spiritual significance of Buddhism. The image, now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the history and cultural heritage of Asia during the 19th century. The black and white medium adds an air of mystery and timelessness to the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historic photography or Asian art.
