EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Terracotta stele with a musician from the Tang Dynasty, dating back to 618-907. Discovered in Shaanxi Province and now housed in the Steles Forest Museum in Xian, China, this exquisite piece of art is truly mesmerizing. The photograph, taken by Leonard de Selva in 2006, beautifully captures the intricate details of this ancient sculpture. The musician depicted on the stele is shown playing a musical instrument, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Chinese music during that era. The Stele Forest (Beilin Museum) in Xi'an is renowned for its collection of stone tablets and sculptures from various dynasties. This particular terracotta stele stands out among them due to its exceptional craftsmanship and historical significance. The colors captured in this photograph add depth and vibrancy to the artwork. The warm tones highlight every delicate curve and line carved into the terracotta surface. It serves as a testament to both the skill of the artist who created it centuries ago and Leonard de Selva's talent for capturing such beauty through his lens. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an era where music played an integral role in Chinese culture. It reminds us of our connection to history and how art can transcend time, allowing us glimpses into civilizations long gone but never forgotten.
