EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the west door of Jak Abbey, located near Szombathely in Hungary. Dating back to the 13th century, this Romanesque architectural masterpiece is steeped in history and cultural significance. The photograph focuses on an intriguing artifact - a stone carving depicting a powerful lion's head. The vivid colors captured in this image bring out the intricate details of the sculpture, highlighting its craftsmanship and artistic finesse. The lion's expression exudes strength and majesty, symbolizing courage and nobility. However, upon closer inspection, one cannot help but notice that this regal creature has been decapitated. This thought-provoking juxtaposition between beauty and death evokes contemplation about life's transience and the impermanence of power. It serves as a reminder that even the mightiest can fall prey to time's relentless grip. Hungary itself provides an enchanting backdrop for such historical treasures. As one explores this European country with its rich heritage, it becomes evident why it has captivated visitors throughout centuries. Through Mike Dixon's lens, we are transported to another era where Homo sapiens once roamed these lands alongside magnificent beasts like lions. This remarkable print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on our own mortality while appreciating the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
