EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the charming streets of Old Aix in Aix en Provence, France. The weathered and dilapidated ancient wall serves as a canvas for large painted letters that tell stories of the past. Standing proudly against this backdrop is a statue of the Virgin, exuding an air of serenity amidst the bustling city. The wooden shutters add a touch of old-fashioned elegance to this historical facade, showcasing the traditional French architecture that Provence is renowned for. Time has left its mark on these shuttered windows, with layers of grime and dirt adding character to their worn appearance. As we gaze at this scene devoid of people, we are reminded that even in popular tourist destinations like Old Aix, moments of tranquility can still be found. This place holds immense cultural heritage and invites visitors to immerse themselves in its rich history. The words written on the wall speak a language long forgotten but preserved through time. They evoke curiosity about what stories they hold within their faded letters. This photograph captures not just an image but also a sense of nostalgia and reverence for bygone eras. Guy Thouvenin/Robert Harding's lens skillfully captures the essence and beauty hidden within every corner of Old Aix, inviting us to explore further into its enchanting streets and discover more treasures from our past.
