This is a photograph by C Maufsaise of the tomb of Isabella and Ferdinand in Granada Cathedral, Spain. Oh, my god, look at that ornate metalwork, like iron lace or something! I can just imagine Maufsaise trying to capture the essence of this extravagant tomb. You can almost feel the weight of history pressing down, right? Like, what was it like to be them, lying there for eternity? It's almost as if Maufsaise is trying to capture not just the object but the reverberation of history itself. And you know, I can totally relate to that struggle – that feeling of wanting to squeeze every last drop of meaning out of a single moment. It’s an interesting dialogue across time, isn't it?
