EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remnants of the Grunwald Monument in Krakow, Poland. Once a magnificent creation by Antoni Wiwulski, it fell victim to the destruction of World War II on Matejko Square. The equestrian figure of King Wladyslaw Jagiello stands tall, accompanied by the standing figure of Lithuanian Prince Witold and the defeated Ulrich von Jungingen at its base. The image transports us to a time when this monument symbolized bravery, victory, and unity. Despite its current state of ruin, there is an undeniable sense of history that emanates from these weathered sculptures. Each crack and fragment tells a story of resilience amidst chaos. Krakow's urban landscape provides a striking backdrop for this poignant scene. Its architectural beauty juxtaposes with the remnants of war, reminding us both of humanity's capacity for destruction and our ability to rebuild. Photographer Bennett Dean expertly captures every detail in this stunning composition. From the intricate carvings on each figure to the play between light and shadow, his lens brings new life to this historical artifact. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded not only of Poland's rich heritage but also how art can transcend time and adversity. It serves as a powerful testament to human creativity and endurance—a visual reminder that even in ruins, beauty can still be found.
