EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Coricancha Temple in Cuzco, Peru. Taken by the talented photographer Luis Rosendo in 2015, it captures the essence of this historic colonial building known as Santo Domingo Convent and Church. Built by Dominican Friars in 1530, it stands proudly on the ruins of an ancient Inka Palace dating back to approximately 1438. The image transports us to a time when two distinct cultures intertwined within one architectural marvel. The imposing structure reflects both Spanish colonial influences and the rich heritage of the Inka civilization. Its walls hold stories that span centuries, whispering tales of conquests and spiritual devotion. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of how history has shaped our present landscape. The fusion of styles is evident in every intricate detail - from its ornate façade to its grand archways. It serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability throughout generations. Cusco (also spelled Cuzco), once considered the capital city of the Inka Empire, continues to be a hub for cultural exploration today. This image encapsulates its allure - a harmonious blend of past and present coexisting side by side. Luis Rosendo's masterful capture invites us into this world frozen in time, urging us to appreciate not only its beauty but also its historical significance. It reminds us that behind every structure lies a story waiting patiently to be discovered and cherished for generations to come.
