EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the enchanting City of Quito, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Pichincha Province of Ecuador. The image showcases the Historic Centre of Quito Old Town, a place steeped in history and brimming with architectural wonders. From a high angle view, we are treated to an expansive vista of this city. The old town's narrow streets wind their way through centuries-old buildings, revealing glimpses into its rich past. In the foreground stands the magnificent Monastery of St Francis, an exquisite 16th-century structure that exudes grandeur and religious significance. The sky above is painted in shades of blue, providing a striking contrast against the ornate white facade and towering spires of the monastery. This architectural marvel serves as both a national landmark and a place of worship for those practicing Catholicism. As our gaze extends beyond the monastery walls, we witness bustling capital cities come alive with incidental people going about their daily lives. The background is filled with hints of other historical landmarks and cultural sites that make Quito such an extraordinary tourist destination. Matthew Williams-Ellis has masterfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the essence and spirit embedded within this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand Quito's vibrant past and its enduring legacy as one of South America's most cherished treasures.
