EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the ancient city of Paestum, where we are granted a mesmerizing view of the Temple of Neptune and the Basilica. Captured through stereoscopic photography around 1890, this image beautifully showcases the grandeur and magnificence of these architectural marvels that have withstood the test of time. Paestum, located in Capaccio-Paestum, Italy, is an archaeological area renowned for its well-preserved Greek temples. The Temple of Neptune stands tall and proud in the foreground, its majestic columns reaching towards the sky. The intricate details on each column tell stories from a bygone era – tales of gods and goddesses worshipped by ancient civilizations. Intriguingly juxtaposed behind it is the Basilica, another impressive structure that once served as a place for public gatherings or legal matters during Roman times. Its solid walls stand as a testament to both Greek and Roman influences on this historical site. The photographer has skillfully captured every nuance – from delicate friezes adorning temple walls to pediments displaying mythical scenes. This photograph not only captures two iconic landmarks but also serves as a window into classical Greek artistry. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of Europe's rich history and ancient civilization dating back over two millennia ago. It is truly remarkable how these ruins have survived centuries' worth of wear and tear while still managing to captivate our imagination. This artwork offers us an opportunity to appreciate our past while reflecting on how far humanity has come since those early days in Greece. Let it serve as a reminder that even amidst change and progress, there will always be value in preserving fragments from our collective history.
