EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Statue of Rigault of Genouilly and of the eveque of Adran in Saigon" takes us back to the early 1900s in Vietnam. The image, captured by Pierre Dieulefils, showcases a stunning statue set against the backdrop of Saigon and its surroundings. The statue itself is an exquisite example of colonial architecture, representing two significant figures from Vietnamese history. Rigault de Genouilly was a French admiral who played a crucial role in establishing French influence in Indochina during the 19th century. The other figure depicted is the bishop (eveque) of Adran, symbolizing the religious presence intertwined with colonialism. Dieulefils' photography skillfully captures every intricate detail carved into this magnificent sculpture. From the folds in their robes to their serene expressions, each element tells a story about Vietnam's complex past under foreign rule. As we gaze at this print today, it serves as a powerful reminder of Vietnam's historical journey and its encounters with colonialism. It invites us to reflect on how these influences have shaped not only its architecture but also its cultural identity. Leonard de Selva's preservation and sharing of this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder allow us to appreciate both Dieulefils' artistry behind the lens and his dedication to capturing moments that transcend time.
