EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the magnificent ruins of Chichen-Itza. Taken in 1860 by French photographer Désiré Charnay, this albumen silver print captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the "Right Wing of the Nuns Palace". The image showcases intricate architectural details and exquisite stone carvings that adorn this ancient Mayan structure. The play of light and shadow adds a sense of mystery, as if it holds secrets waiting to be unveiled. Chichen-Itza, located on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, is renowned for its well-preserved remnants of Mayan civilization. The Nuns Palace stands as a testament to their advanced engineering and artistic prowess. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but marvel at how Charnay skillfully captured both the grandeur and delicate intricacies of this historical site. His use of albumen silver printing technique further enhances the richness and depth within each detail. This print serves as a window into an era long gone yet still resonates with our fascination for ancient civilizations. It invites us to explore history through artistry and encourages us to appreciate the cultural heritage left behind by those who came before us.
