EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Prophets" sculpture by Aleijadinho at the Sanctuary of Bom Jesus de Matosinhos in Congonhas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a testament to Brazil's rich cultural and architectural heritage. The stunning blue hue of the door and the traditional design of the building add to its historical charm. "The Prophets" sculpture, crafted by Aleijadinho in the 18th century, stands tall outside the basilica. These stone statues hold scrolls symbolizing their prophetic messages rooted in Catholicism. Their presence evokes a sense of spirituality and reverence. As one gazes upon this photograph, they are transported back in time to an era when tradition and religion were deeply intertwined with everyday life. The intricate details on each statue reflect not only artistic mastery but also a deep respect for history and tradition. In this image captured by Ian Trower/Robert Harding, we witness a slice of Brazilian culture frozen in time. The absence of people allows us to fully appreciate the grandeur and serenity that surrounds these sculptures. This print serves as a reminder that travel can be more than just visiting popular destinations; it can be an opportunity to immerse oneself in different cultures and explore centuries-old traditions. It invites viewers to embark on their own journey through history while appreciating the beauty found within world heritage sites like this one in Congonhas, Brazil.
