EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic Silver Kyaung, also known as the Monastery of Queen Supayalat, in Mandalay, Burma (Myanmar) circa 1890. The image was captured by Felice Beato, a renowned British photographer. The Silver Kyaung stands tall and proud against the backdrop of a clear sky. Its intricate architecture and exquisite details are highlighted in this monochrome print. This sacred structure served as a place of worship for Buddhist monks during the reign of Thibaw, the last king of Burma. Queen Supayalat, Thibaw's wife, commissioned the construction of this remarkable monastery. It is said to have been adorned with silver ornaments that shimmered under sunlight. The pagoda-like building showcases traditional Burmese design elements combined with influences from other Asian cultures. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and spirituality that once filled these hallowed halls. The image invites us to appreciate not only its architectural beauty but also its cultural significance within Burmese history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece from their private collection for all art enthusiasts to admire. Through this photo print, we can explore an era long gone yet forever imprinted in our collective memory.
