EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking photograph captures the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, a symbol of peace and hope, located atop the Corcovado mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The statue, an immense art deco creation, was designed by the French sculptor Paul Landowski and the face was crafted by the Romanian artist Gheorghe Leonida. Completed in 1931, the statue stands tall at an impressive height of 30 meters (98 feet) and overlooks the vibrant city below. The image was captured in the 1950s, during a decade marked by significant social and political changes in Brazil. The statue, which was officially named "Cristo Redentor" or Christ the Redeemer, has become a beacon of faith and unity for the people of Rio and a must-see attraction for visitors from around the world. The intricate details of the statue, from the outstretched arms to the serene expression on the face, are beautifully highlighted in this photograph, making it a stunning addition to any home or office decor. This photograph, taken in 1955, is a testament to the enduring beauty and significance of this iconic landmark.
