EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the ancient city of Pompeii. The image captures a breathtaking view of the peristyle garden, surrounded by a colonnade of porticoes, within the House of the Vettii. Dating back to the First Imperial Period, this archaeological gem showcases Roman art at its finest. At the heart of this enchanting garden lie numerous basins and sculptures, each one telling its own story from centuries past. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element meticulously crafted to create an atmosphere of serenity and beauty. It's as if time has stood still within these walls. The House of the Vettii itself stands as a testament to ancient civilization and architectural brilliance. Its grandeur is evident in every column that lines its perimeter, exuding strength and elegance simultaneously. This structure serves as a reminder that even after all these years, human ingenuity continues to inspire awe. In this photograph by Brogi from Alinari, we are given a glimpse into not only history but also literature and fiction. One can almost imagine characters from ancient tales strolling through this very garden or engaging in deep conversations amidst such stunning surroundings. As we gaze upon this scene captured over 100 years ago in 1890, it becomes clear that Pompeii's archaeological area holds immense significance for Europe and our understanding of ancient civilizations. This print invites us on a journey through time - an opportunity to appreciate both nature's beauty and mankind's artistic achievements throughout history.
