EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of the Old Mission of St. Francis de Assisi, a historic landmark built around 1710 in Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico. As dusk settles over the landscape, the mission stands tall and proud, illuminated by soft golden light that accentuates its architectural grandeur. The image showcases the mission's iconic bell tower and crucifix against a backdrop of clear skies. The white adobe walls gleam in the evening glow, creating a striking contrast with the surrounding darkness. This enchanting sight is not only an architectural marvel but also a significant place of worship for Catholicism. With no one present in this frame, it allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail without distraction. The low angle view emphasizes the building's towering presence while highlighting its historical significance as a tourist attraction and local landmark. Richard Maschmeyer's skillful photography brings out every nuance of color and texture in this vertical composition. It invites us to explore our own spirituality while immersing ourselves in New Mexico's rich cultural heritage. Whether you are drawn to religious sites or simply admire remarkable architecture, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a visual reminder of our shared human history.
