EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of the Cathedral of Santa Ana in Las Palmas, Canary Islands. The interior of this Roman Catholic church is a masterpiece of architecture and design, with its vaulted ceiling and ornate details.
In particular, the second and third bays from the west are highlighted in this image, showcasing a controversial addition to the cathedral - a classical coro (choir) that was walled up in 1802. Described as "vile" by some critics, this feature adds an interesting contrast to the grandeur of the rest of the cathedral.
The photograph dates back to 1905, providing a glimpse into the past and allowing viewers to appreciate both the historical significance and artistic elements of this sacred space. Sculptor Jose Lujan Perez's work on this choir is evident in its detailed craftsmanship.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is not only known for its beautiful beaches but also for its rich cultural heritage, exemplified by landmarks like the Cathedral of Santa Ana. This print serves as a reminder of the architectural wonders found on these Spanish islands and invites viewers to explore their history and beauty further.
