EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable terracotta stele from the Tang Dynasty, depicting a musician. The artwork is housed in the Xi'an Beilin Museum, located in Shaanxi Province, China. Captured by photographer Leonard de Selva, this image beautifully captures the intricate details and cultural significance of this ancient masterpiece. The stele portrays a musician dressed in traditional attire from the 7th century Tang Dynasty. The low-cut dress and ornate headdress reflect the fashion trends of that era. With delicate relief work, every fold of fabric and strand of hair is meticulously sculpted to bring life to this musical figure. Intriguingly, this stele not only represents music but also dance. The dancer's graceful posture suggests movement and rhythm as if frozen mid-performance. It provides us with a glimpse into the vibrant artistic scene during the Tang Dynasty when music and dance were integral parts of Chinese culture. Located within the Forest of Stone Steles, an impressive collection of ancient stone tablets dating back centuries, this particular piece stands out for its portrayal of musicians playing various instruments. Through their skillful craftsmanship, these artists have captured both the beauty and complexity inherent in musical expression. As we admire this photograph print by Leonard de Selva, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one aspect of China's rich cultural heritage during one of its most influential dynasties - truly a treasure worth preserving for generations to come.
