EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "PDC-F-002110-0000" we are transported back in time to the year 1885, ca. , where we witness the haunting beauty of the remains of the Temple of Apollo in Selinunte. The crumbling columns stand as a testament to the grandeur and architectural mastery that once defined this ancient site. As our eyes explore the image, two male figures can be seen perched atop one of the collapsed columns, adding a sense of scale and human presence amidst these awe-inspiring ruins. Their presence serves as a reminder that even centuries later, people continue to be drawn to these historic sites for their cultural significance and timeless allure. The landscape surrounding the temple is lush with grass and vegetation, creating a striking contrast against the weathered stone structures. This juxtaposition between nature's resilience and man-made decay adds depth to our understanding of history's enduring impact on both land and civilization. Giorgio Sommer skillfully captures not only an archaeological marvel but also invites us into a world filled with wonderment and curiosity. Through his lens, we embark on our own virtual grand tour, immersing ourselves in thematic searches for knowledge about ancient civilizations. This print by Alinari transports us beyond mere documentation; it evokes emotions within us - nostalgia for what was lost yet appreciation for what remains. It serves as a powerful reminder that while time may erode physical structures, it cannot diminish their historical importance or their ability to inspire generations across centuries.
