EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful symbol of the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936 - The Olympic Bell. Suspended high in the 250-foot bell tower on the Maifeld, overlooking the grand Olympic Stadium, this magnificent bell showcases the German Eagle proudly holding the iconic Olympic Rings. The image is a testament to both artistry and history, as it was captured by an anonymous German photographer from the 20th century. The composition beautifully highlights the intricate details of both the bell and its surroundings. As we delve into this snapshot from a tumultuous era, we are reminded of Germany's role as host during these games under Nazi rule. The Third Reich's influence is evident through symbols like the eagle and rings that were incorporated into various aspects of event branding. Despite political undertones, this photograph encapsulates not only national pride but also international unity through sport. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenging times, athletes from around the world came together to compete on an equal playing field. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical moment for us to reflect upon today. As we gaze at this remarkable piece of photography, let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its significance within our shared human story.
