EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View Summer Palace Yuan Ming Yuan Pagoda. Burning" captures a haunting moment in history. Taken by the talented photographer Felice Beato on October 18,1860, in Pekin (now Beijing), China, this albumen silver print showcases the majestic Summer Palace and its iconic Yuan Ming Yuan Pagoda before it was tragically consumed by flames. The image transports us back to that fateful day when destruction loomed over this architectural marvel. The intricate details of the pagoda are beautifully preserved in this photograph, allowing us to appreciate its grandeur and historical significance. The serene surroundings of the Summer Palace provide a stark contrast to the impending devastation. Felice Beato's skillful composition captures both the beauty and fragility of human creations against the backdrop of time. This particular work is a testament to his ability to freeze moments that hold immense cultural value. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we cannot help but reflect on how history shapes our present and future. It serves as a reminder of humanity's capacity for creation and destruction alike – an eternal cycle that continues throughout time.
