EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the juxtaposition of ancient Inca ruins and Christian architecture in the heart of Cuzco, Peru. The foreground showcases a weathered wall from the Inca ruin of Coricancha, standing as a testament to an ancient civilization that once thrived here. Its intricate structure and arches hint at the architectural brilliance of the Incas. In stark contrast, the church of Santo Domingo emerges majestically in the background, basking in sunlight. This symbolizes how Christianity has seamlessly integrated itself into Peruvian culture over centuries, blending with its rich historical roots. The vibrant colors present throughout this image add depth and character to this archaeological site turned tourist attraction. The low angle view emphasizes both the grandeur of these structures and their significance within history. As you gaze upon this photograph, you are transported back in time to witness two distinct civilizations coexisting harmoniously against a picturesque backdrop. It serves as a reminder of Peru's remarkable past while inviting travelers to explore its fascinating blend of cultures today. Richard Maschmeyer/Robert Harding's skillful photography beautifully encapsulates not only Cuzco's architectural marvels but also its cultural tapestry woven through time.
