EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Giovanni Battista Piranesi showcases the breathtaking view of the Temples of Paestum in all their ancient glory. The print, now part of a private collection, takes us on a journey to this Graeco-Roman city nestled in the Campania region of Italy. The image transports us to a time long gone, where we can imagine ourselves standing amidst the ruins and marveling at the grandeur that once was. The temples stand tall and proud against an unkempt landscape, giving them an air of mystery and romance. Piranesi's meticulous engraving captures every intricate detail of these classical architectural wonders. The Doric columns rise majestically towards the sky, while figures dotting the scene add a sense of scale and perspective. Paestum itself is shrouded in history; its roots trace back to Roman times when it flourished as a bustling city. Today, it remains an important archaeological site that attracts visitors from around the world who come to witness its timeless beauty. Giancarlo Costa's expert reproduction allows us to appreciate this masterpiece from afar. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are reminded not only of Italy's rich cultural heritage but also our own fascination with ancient civilizations and their enduring legacies.
