EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic Santuario de Bom Jesus de Matosinhos, a true masterpiece by Aleijandinho, located in Congonhas do Campo, Brazil. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this architectural gem is steeped in history and tradition. The image showcases the sanctuary's intricate waist-up design with its beautiful arches reaching towards the sky. The baroque-style basilica stands proudly against a backdrop of fluffy clouds and an arched horizon. Its vibrant colors add to its cultural significance as it represents the rich heritage of Brazil and South America. This place of worship holds great importance for Catholicism and serves as a symbol of faith for many. As we gaze up at this magnificent structure from below, we are transported back in time to an era when such grandeur was commonplace. The statues and monuments crafted from soapstone pay homage to Brazilian culture and traditions that have stood the test of time. This photograph not only captures the beauty of this national landmark but also highlights its significance as one of UNESCO's world heritage sites. It invites us to explore the past while appreciating typically Brazilian elements that make this destination so unique. Gabrielle & Michel Therin-Weise/Robert Hardin have expertly captured all these aspects through their lens, allowing us to experience the splendor of Santuario de Bom Jesus de Matosinhos without leaving our homes.
