EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of the ruins of the Monument of Philopappus, situated near the Museum of Athens in Greece. The image transports us back to ancient times, showcasing a remarkable piece of Roman art that has withstood the test of time. The Monument of Philopappus was built as a commemorative equestrian monument during 114-116 AD and stands as a testament to an era long gone. Its grandeur and intricate architecture speak volumes about the advanced civilization that once thrived in this region. In this photograph taken between 1920-1930, we are given a glimpse into both history and art. The crumbling structure evokes a sense of melancholy, reminding us that even great monuments eventually succumb to decay. Yet, it also serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and their contributions to human progress. As we gaze upon this non-Christian funerary monument, we can't help but marvel at its significance within European culture. It is through such artifacts that we gain insight into our shared past and develop an appreciation for the diverse artistic expressions found throughout different periods in history. Alinari Fratelli's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the subject matter but also his own artistic prowess. Through his lens, he immortalizes this moment in time for future generations to admire and study. This print is more than just an image; it is a portal into another world – one where empires rise and fall, leaving behind remnants like these ruins as reminders of their existence. It invites contemplation on themes such as mortality, legacy, and humanity's ceaseless quest for immortality through artistry.
