EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sacred Well Benares" captures the essence of ancient spirituality in the heart of Benares, India. Taken by Felice Beato, an English-born Italian photographer, in 1859 and printed in 1862 using albumen silver print technique, this image is a testament to the enduring power of photography. The photograph transports us to a sacred well in Benares, where devotees gather to seek solace and spiritual rejuvenation. The composition skillfully highlights the architectural beauty surrounding the well as sunlight filters through intricate patterns carved into stone walls. The play of light and shadow creates a mystical ambiance that adds depth to this remarkable scene. Collaborating with Henry Hering, a British artist known for his attention to detail, Beato's expertise shines through every element captured within the frame. From delicately etched sculptures adorning pillars to devotees engrossed in their prayers, each aspect tells its own story. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Liszt Collection, we are reminded of how photography can transcend time and culture. It allows us glimpses into worlds long gone while preserving moments frozen forever. This particular image serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical document—a window into a distant era when faith intertwined with daily life. Whether displayed on gallery walls or cherished within private collections, this photographic gem continues to inspire awe and appreciation for its ability to capture not just images but also emotions that resonate across generations.
