EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing interior view of Bom Jesus Cathedral at Goa, India. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the grandeur and spiritual significance of this iconic place of worship. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the magnificent statue of Ignatius Loyola, which stands tall amidst the cathedral's ornate architecture. The intricate details on both the statue and its surroundings are beautifully highlighted in monochrome tones, creating a timeless aesthetic. However, it is not just Ignatius Loyola that draws our attention; nestled beside him lies a catafalque containing the remains of St Francis Xavier. This poignant addition adds a sense of reverence to the scene, reminding us of the rich history and religious devotion associated with this sacred site. As we delve into this image, we are transported to colonial-era Goa, where Indian culture seamlessly intertwines with European influences. The fusion between East and West is palpable within these walls as they bear witness to centuries-old traditions and beliefs. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse into an Asia that was once unknown to many Westerners - mysterious yet inviting. It serves as a testament to both photography's power in capturing cultural heritage and Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving such invaluable historical treasures for generations to come.
