EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient Graeco-Roman site of Paestum, located in present-day Pesto, Italy. The photograph showcases two remarkable structures - the basilica on the left and the Temple of Apollo standing tall in all its grandeur. Dating back to circa 1900, this image offers a glimpse into a bygone era. The temple, originally thought to be dedicated to Poseidon or Neptune, gods of the sea, exudes an aura of mystery and reverence. Its imposing pillars rise towards the sky with an air of strength and resilience despite centuries of existence. The sepia tones add a touch of nostalgia that transports us further into history. Surrounded by stone walls that have witnessed countless stories unfold over time, these ruins stand as testaments to an ancient civilization's architectural prowess. They serve as reminders that even through decay and destruction, remnants can still inspire awe-inspiring beauty. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Alinari from Fine Art Storehouse's collection, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us. It prompts contemplation about human ingenuity throughout different periods in history. This print is not just a piece for art enthusiasts; it is a window into our past—a visual representation inviting exploration into the rich tapestry woven by ancient civilizations like Paestum.
