EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Quint Lox, we are transported back to the year 1655, where men and women gather around opened tombs of historical figures. The scene is filled with a mix of curiosity and horror as these senior figures, kings and queens of the past, gaze upon the remains that have been unearthed. The skeletons of Alexander the Great, Helena, and Solomon lie before them, evoking a sense of mortality and reminding us that even great leaders meet their ultimate fate. A scroll in one hand bears the words "Transit Gloria Mundi" (the glory of the world passes) while another banderole reads "Mors Ultima Linea Rerum" (death is the final boundary). As these individuals peer into history's gravesite, their reactions vary from awe to shock. It is an eerie sight indeed – a reminder that life eventually succumbs to death. The photograph captures not only their fascination but also our own contemplation on existence itself. Quint Lox masterfully portrays this moment in time through his lens, allowing us to witness firsthand how humanity grapples with its own mortality. This thought-provoking image serves as a testament to our eternal quest for understanding life's transience and leaves us pondering our place within it.
