EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring Grand Staircase of the Minoan Royal Palace at Knossos, Crete. Dating back to approximately 1700BC-1400BC, this staircase is a testament to the grandeur and sophistication of ancient Greek architecture. The palace itself is situated within Knossos, which holds the distinction of being the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete. The photograph captures both the exterior and interior beauty of this historic structure. Bathed in natural daylight, it reveals intricate details such as columns and pillars that adorn the stairway. These architectural elements not only serve as support but also add an air of elegance to the overall design. One notable feature depicted in this image is the Light Well, which adds a touch of mystique to this ancient palace. As sunlight pours through its opening, it illuminates various corners and crevices within, creating a mesmerizing play between light and shadow. Stepping into this photograph feels like stepping back in time; one can almost imagine walking up these very steps centuries ago alongside royalty or important dignitaries. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers us glimpses into civilizations long gone. This print by CM Dixon beautifully encapsulates both the historical significance and aesthetic appeal of Knossos' Grand Staircase—a true treasure from ancient Greece's past that continues to captivate viewers even today.
