EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ruins of the ancient theatre of Taormina, nestled at the foot of Mount Taurus in Sicily. The drawing by Adolphe Rouargue and Emile Rouargue beautifully captures the grandeur and majesty of this historical site. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a different era, where gladiators once entertained crowds with their daring feats. The view from this vantage point is truly breathtaking - overlooking the modern village of Giardini and the mighty Mount Etna in all its volcanic glory. It's as if time has stood still, allowing us to witness both ancient ruins and natural wonders coexisting harmoniously. This engraving was originally created to illustrate Felix Bourquelot's journey to Sicily in 1843 for "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" - a testament to how travel has always been an avenue for discovery and enlightenment. As we admire this piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we can't help but marvel at the intricate details that bring these ancient structures back to life. It serves as a reminder of our shared human history and ignites a sense of wonder about what stories these walls could tell if they could speak. In essence, this print encapsulates not just a moment frozen in time but also our enduring fascination with antiquity and our desire to explore new horizons.
