EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a tragic moment in history - the destruction of the iconic Portland Vase in February 1845. The vase, originally known as the Barberini Vase, held immense historical and cultural significance dating back to the 16th century when it was discovered at Monte del Grano near Rome.
The image shows the aftermath of this devastating event, where a visitor to the British Museum caused irreparable damage to this priceless artifact. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship of the vase are now forever lost, leaving behind only memories of its former glory.
Despite being centuries old, the Portland Vase remained an important symbol of art and history until that fateful day in February. Its destruction serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve our cultural heritage for future generations.
This print is not just a visual representation of a historical event but also an important reminder of the fragility of our past. It urges us to appreciate and safeguard these treasures that connect us to our roots and shape our understanding of who we are.
