EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Stela A, a remarkable stone sculpture from the Late Classic Period in Copan, Honduras. Created around 730 AD by the Mayans, this stela stands as a testament to their advanced civilization and rich cultural heritage. During the reign of Eighteen-Rabbit, this magnificent stele was erected to commemorate an important event marking the end of a calendar cycle. The intricate carvings on its surface depict a face that exudes both power and mystery. The craftsmanship displayed in this stone block is truly awe-inspiring. Every detail has been meticulously carved into the hard surface, revealing the skill and artistry of these ancient people. This archaeological treasure serves as a window into the past, allowing us to glimpse into Mesoamerican history. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era long gone but not forgotten. The ruins surrounding Stela A remind us of the once-thriving Mayan civilization that flourished in Central America centuries ago. Jean Pierre Courau's expert photography captures every nuance and texture of this pre-Columbian masterpiece with precision and clarity. Through his lens, we can appreciate not only its historical significance but also its inherent beauty. This print is more than just an image; it is a portal through which we can connect with our ancient past and marvel at human ingenuity across time.
