EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite frescos of artisans on the side aisle ceiling of Qusayr Amra, a remarkable Umayyad bath complex located in the heart of Jordan's Middle East. Built by Caliph Walid I between 700 and 715, this desert oasis has managed to preserve its well-preserved period frescos that depict an ancient civilization's rich traditions and domestic life. The image captures the intricate details of these ancient artworks, with vibrant colors and patterns adorning every inch of the ceiling. Despite some damage over time, the archeological site remains a testament to human creativity and ingenuity. A sense of history permeates through this photograph as one can imagine walking along the ruined walkways, surrounded by remnants of a once-thriving Roman culture. The presence of a lone figure adds depth to the composition, reminding us that we are merely visitors in this timeless space. The juxtaposition between contemporary photography and ancient art creates an intriguing contrast, highlighting both our fascination with history and our desire to capture it through visual media. This print serves as a reminder that cultural heritage is not only meant for preservation but also for appreciation by tourists from all corners of the globe. Chris Rennie/Robert Harding's skillful photography brings out every motif and detail within these stunning frescos, making it impossible not to be captivated by their beauty. It is truly a travel destination worth exploring for anyone interested in immersing themselves in centuries-old artistry and architectural marvel
