EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by JWL showcases the intriguing juxtaposition of ancient graves carved out of solid rock and circular pits used for tramping grapes. Located in the picturesque countryside near Pecina, Spain, this scene is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Western Europe. The small chapel of Santa Maria de la Piscina stands as a silent witness to centuries-old burial traditions that took place in these very grounds. The meticulously carved tombs, hewn from sturdy rock formations, speak volumes about the reverence and respect bestowed upon the departed souls. Beside these ancient graves lie circular pits once utilized for trampling grapes—a practice deeply rooted in Southern European viticulture. This image serves as a reminder of how wine-making has been an integral part of Mediterranean countries like Spain for countless generations. The location itself holds significance within La Rioja region, renowned worldwide for its exceptional wines. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, envisioning laborious grape-stomping rituals carried out with passion and dedication. JWL's composition beautifully captures both the solemnity surrounding burial customs and the vibrancy associated with viniculture. It invites us to reflect on our connection to history while appreciating nature's bounty that sustains us through winemaking traditions passed down over centuries.
