EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey to the enchanting land of Turkey, specifically to Cappadocia's Goreme Valley. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, this breathtaking location is home to an architectural marvel known as the Dark Church or Karanlik Kilise. The focal point of this image is a mesmerizing wall painting dating back to the early 12th century, showcasing Byzantine Art at its finest. The artwork depicts Christ Pantocrator, also referred to as Lord of All, exuding divine power and grace. Every brushstroke tells a story of devotion and spirituality that has withstood the test of time. As we gaze upon this medieval masterpiece, we are transported back in history and immersed in the rich cultural heritage that defines Turkey. The intricate details and vibrant colors speak volumes about the artistic prowess prevalent during that era. The absence of people in this photograph allows us to fully appreciate the tranquility and serenity emanating from within these religious walls. It serves as a reminder that sometimes silence can be just as powerful as words when it comes to experiencing profound moments like these. Thanks to DEA / G. DAGLI ORTI UIG from Universal Images Group (UIG), we have been granted a glimpse into one of Turkey's most treasured gems – an extraordinary blend of artistry, faith, and history captured forever in this remarkable photo print.
