EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic University of San Carlos (1681), now known as the Colonial Art Museum, located in Antigua, Guatemala. Bathed in warm sunlight, this historic structure stands tall as a symbol of tradition and heritage in Central America. The peaceful courtyard is adorned with intricate columns and an ornate fountain, creating a serene atmosphere that invites visitors to bask in its tranquility. The facade of the university showcases elaborate arches and vibrant tiles, adding bursts of color to the scene against a backdrop of clear blue skies. With its contemporary charm seamlessly blending with colonial architecture, this tourist attraction serves as a testament to Guatemala's rich cultural history. As morning rays illuminate the white exterior walls, one can't help but feel captivated by the timeless beauty captured in this photograph. The curve of each pillar and every detail within the frame tells stories from late 17th-century academia. With its water features reflecting both cloud-filled skies and Caribbean influences, this image transports viewers to another era while reminding them of their present-day travel destination. It serves as a visual reminder that education has been cherished for centuries at this esteemed institution. Chris Rennie/Robert Harding's photography skillfully captures not only the physicality but also the essence of learning and exploration embedded within these historical walls. This print is sure to inspire admiration for both architectural marvels and our shared human pursuit of knowledge throughout time.
